Hi, my name is Syon Schlecht and I am a an undergraduate student at Georgia Tech, pursuing a B.S. in Chemistry. I currently work as a research coordinator for the College of Sciences and an undergraduate instructional assistant for the School of Biosciences. I earned my BACE certificate in Biotechnology from the University of Florida and have a strong background in chemical biology. My research experience is primarily focused on organic method development, rational drug design, and biochemistry. I have designed and synthesized novel drug candidates targeting DHFR and NF-kB, developed protocols for biotechnology curriculum, and conducted research on biomaterials for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

I am passionate about science education and have created content for a variety of courses. I have made my resources and materials open access on my page. I have presented my research at conferences and published my findings in scientific journals. I have been the recipient of several honors and awards, including the CTAE Student of the Year for the State of Georgia. I am a member of the American Chemical Society and the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
