Learn more about Dr. Cernak's networking tips and what the Cernak Lab has been working on to meet the world's COVID-19 crisis needs. 

Dr. Tim Cernak was born in Montreal, Canada in 1980. He obtained a B.Sc. in Chemistry from University of British Columbia Okanagan and there studied the aroma profile of Chardonnay wines. Following PhD training in total synthesis with Prof. Jim Gleason at McGill University, Tim was a FQRNT Postdoctoral Fellow with Tristan Lambert at Columbia University. In 2009, Tim joined the Medicinal Chemistry team at Merck Sharp & Dohme in Rahway, New Jersey. There he developed technologies for miniaturized synthesis and late-stage functionalization. In 2018, Dr. Cernak transitioned from industry to academia and launched a lab at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor as an Assistant Professor of Medicinal Chemistry. The Cernak Lab is exploring an interface of chemical synthesis and data science.
