Patricia Mettler
Project Director
Patricia manages LLRI's research projects and collaborations, coordinating between internal teams and external partners. She ensures that projects maintain scientific rigor while meeting timelines and quality standards.
How We Work Together
LLRI operates as a focused research team where collaboration is essential. Our small size is intentional—it allows for direct communication, rapid iteration, and shared accountability across every project.
Research, analytical, and project management functions work in close coordination. When a new compound enters our pipeline, the entire team is involved from synthesis planning through final quality release. This integrated approach ensures that scientific decisions are informed by analytical realities, and that timelines reflect actual laboratory constraints.
We believe that rigorous science requires both deep expertise and the flexibility to adapt. Our team structure supports both.
