Jaroslaw Jozef Spychala was born on January 21, 1960 in Sierakow, Poland. Son of Jozef and Walentyna (Nitschke) Spychala.
Baccalaureate (examination for the secondary-school certificate in Polish, Maths, Chemistry, and French), Miedzychod High School, Math-physics Profiled Liceum, 1979. Master of Science, Adam Mickiewicz University, 1984. Doctor of Philosophy, Adam Mickiewicz University, 1991. Postdoctorate, Postdoctoral Programs at Georgia State University, 1994. Independent Scholar, Professional Development at Adam Mickiewicz University up to 2006 (scientist with early independence before obtaining a professorship).
Assistant Professor, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, since 1994 (cutting edge research and curtail scientific career in 2006, wrongful dismissal, discriminatory and retaliatory termination, public and a private wrong, and other AMU wicked deeds). Postdoctoral Associate, Georgia State University, 1991-1994 (9 multidisciplinary papers and several patents, excellent analytical and influential skills, challenging position, excellent links with national and international research networks, and tangible results for the benefit of society). He was strengthening his research activities in the synthesis of polycatinic compounds in an interdisciplinary research project. In the role of result driven PDA (pragmatic and always with an eye on quality and safety) he had a key task in the Boykin’s project team, working with an international companionship, closely together with the Wilson’s Center for Biotechnology and Drug Design. He spent the majority of his time doing experimental work. In addition he performed literature studies, wrote project updates and reports, assisted in 2-3 weekly departmental seminars by leading scientists from around the world at the forefront of chemical research, and attended meetings (project reporting and presentation of results on internal project meetings) in a collaborative environment, with external partners: Tidwell’s Group of Scientists (Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, NC), Schinazi’s Group working in the field of biochemical pharmacology (The School of Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, GA and Veterans Affaires Medical Center, Deacatur, GA), and scientists of other disciplines in the field.
As a postdoctoral associate (PDA), he was able to broaden his research expertise, build associations with established researchers, and strengthen his publication record, thereby enhancing his future individual independent research. He had the opportunity to make significant contributions to natural sciences, the University, faculty researchers, and graduate students (Daphne Santiago, Ph.D., Lenong Wang-Allison, M.S., and Sherrie Thomas; there are appropriate acknowledgements in their doctoral and master’s dissertations) in order to enhance cross-fertilization. At GSU, his skills, dedication, and ambition help each other change lives for the better. In exchange, the vibrant and international research center offered him an opportunity to work with extraordinary talent and benefit from a range of possibilities for professional and personal development. He demonstrated ability to act in a decisive, urgent, and committed fashion to support the University.
Jaroslaw Spychala joined the laboratory of Dr. D.W. Boykin in April 1991 after graduating with a Ph.D. from the AMU Department of Chemistry. The main focus of his research has been to synthesize new potential anti-AIDS agents to advance small-molecule drug discovery programs. For this he employed several methods, including own methodology (relevant work experience and scientific workbench; some independent, non-course laboratory experience to achieve breakthroughs in amidine research) in the Pinner Synthesis. They led to new bisamidine polycationic drugs that selectively interact with nucleic acids. Neidle’s Group of Crystallographers (co-authors from the Institute of Cancer Research, Sutton, Surrey, UK) determined the X-ray crystal structure of furamidine complex to probe the existence of DNA binding in the solid state and provided a detailed structural description of it. The mechanism of DNA minor-groove binding of diamidines is highly probable. Expert understanding of medicinal chemistry concepts in the application of structure based design, physicochemical, biochemical, and pharmacological principles have been applied to drug discovery.
His many outstanding performances (particular knowledge) published in high quality journals: Spychala Reaction I (cyclic amidines from nitriles), Spychala Reaction II (simple amidines from thioamides and zinc ammoniates), Spychala Reaction III (several protonation reactions and reactivity including zwitterionic monomethylamidine formation), Spychala Rearrangement (H2S molecule migration in the thioamide-nitrile system), newfound bonds, correlations, selectivity, and other individual valuable contributions to organic chemistry and medicinal drug discovery. It was a single-handed effort on his part. Just look at the attached dozen top publications described the pioneering research!

A fire and lighting of the NEW Paschal candle kindled and blessed by the priest, The Service of Light, ‘Light of Christ’ (Christ is ‘light and life’ throughout the coming year). The NEW fire symbolizes the light of salvation and hope that God brought into the world through Christ’s Resurrection, dispelling the darkness of sin and death. Those who have received the ‘Light of Christ’ have an opportunity to make a NEW life for themselves. This is what a person can gain from the Christianity (loving and approachable God) and its beliefs.
The reforms are not going far enough to view the future with optimism. There is cause for concern: wrongdoing of the judiciary (Judges as Criminals?), incompetent and mercenary judges and other public servants, wrong law interpretations, lawlessness (alcoholism, falseness, fraudulence, juvenile delinquency, juvenile prostitution, robbery and assault, vagrancy, vandalism, white slavery), mendacity, officialdom, incapacity, no right democracy as yet (half-democratic Poland), liberal philosophies of law, constitution violation, constitutional disorder - rule hierarchy gross negligence (including EEC rules).

Rap music held a fascination for Jacek Leszek Mejer ‘Mezo’ in the mid-1990’s already. The Mezo’s creativity is a combination of positive hip hop and pop music. The lyrics are focused on public energy transmission. The first solo track ‘Swordplay’ was released in 1991 (on disc in 2002: Owal/Emcedwa ‘Episode II Rapnasty’). On the Polish music scene, the Mezo great success was achieved in the year 2003 by recording a debut album entitled ‘Mezokracja’ (UMC Records). In 2014 the released album ‘The Scenery after Battle’ has contained the following promotional singles: ‘The Only One’, ‘Anew’, and ‘A Holy Calm’. The author received the VIVA Comet Awards for: the 2009 Best Artist, Decade Hit (‘The Sacred’), and Artist of the Decade. His mission is to motivate people to strive for perfection, overcome their weaknesses, and improve their lives. Hence the marathon run, triathlon, and game of tennis are a stepping stone for him and restore his faith in justice in the world.
His expertise (world-class performance) in the field of chemistry, distinguished persons and their letters of congratulation are presented below as a mark of appreciation. It is important to the ongoing international recognition of outstanding achievements through his publications. It also means the authors value him and that he is important to them. Both a high-impact resume and a cover letter on Monster highlight his experience and accomplishments.

It is beautiful! I’m sure we will enjoy it for many years to come. It was so nice of you to remember us, but I am concerned that such a tape, including the necessary postage, is very expensive for you [20,000 “somethings?”]. I really enjoy communicated with you, I don’t want it to be a burden. Did you receive any of the e-mail messages I sent? One problem with e-mail is that you are never sure it has arrived! Bob and I really kept our bus busy in December. Dec. 5-9 I took a group from China to North Carolina, then 16-23 was our regular SKI trip. We hired a second bus and took two bus loads to the Florida Christmas Conference (Dec. 27-Jan. 2), where I was the Bible teacher this year. During the conference everyone was saddened by the death in a motor vehicle accident of an international student from Poland! Jon (Janusz Siodlak) had taken several trips with us, and often came to the Friday evening meetings. His roommate, Peter (Piotr Jankowski), flew back to Atlanta from the conference to make arrangements. We praise the Lord that Jon was a believer! Your friend’.

Rushmore arrived here recently. I couldn’t believe there were bison in Poland! I wish I could read the article and find out the details. Too bad Mt. Rushmore was so foggy that day. Thanks for staying in touch. Your friend, Everett «…Let us go at once to entreat the Lord and seek the Almighty. I myself am going» (Zech. 8:21b, NIV)’.

For our ever growing French team, we are looking for a French Purchasing Specialist to come and join us in Wroclaw. The native language in our office is English so a good understanding of English is also beneficial.
