Our Speaker

Terry-Elinor Reid
Associate Professor, Medicinal-Computational Chemist, Concordia University Wisconsin School of Pharmacy
Dr. Terry-Elinor Reid is an Associate Professor and Medicinal-Computational Chemist at the Concordia University Wisconsin School of Pharmacy. She obtained a bachelor’s of Science degree in Chemical engineering in 2005 from Howard University, and a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2015 also from Howard University in Washington DC. Dr. Reid held roles in the biotech industry, healthcare, and academia where she still maintains collaborations with industry partners. Dr. Reid actively maintains multiple research programs involving the discovery and design of HIV latency-reversing agents, anti-cancer agents, and antimicrobial agents. If you are interested in learning about Dr. Reid’s research endeavors, you can find her published work in journals such as the Journal of Chemical Information & Modeling and Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, just to name a few. Dr. Reid has found a way to incorporate computational tools like Schrodinger into her teaching to allow for a practical experience that is impossible to gain in the lab given the limited teaching hours as a result of the rigorous nature of the Pharmacy program.
