Question: Do you mainly systhesise drugs or compounds of any sort?

I actually have never synthesised an actual drug compound I have made improved drug delivery systems to make drugs work better. Now I work on developing biomedical devices so looking at making detetcion systems that identify diseases such as cancer earlier.

Previously I have also made compounds for a whole range of applications from military defence, adhesives to inkjet printing. A lot of the chemistry used in drug synthesis can be applied to other totally different areas.
