Dr. Marcus J. Reid, PhD
Biochemist · Research Formulation Director
Dr. Marcus J. Reid holds a PhD in Biochemistry with over 12 years of research experience in peptide pharmacology, receptor characterisation, and compound stability analysis. As Research Formulation Director at Advanced Peptide Science, he oversees the seven research category catalogues — metabolic, tissue repair, growth hormone, cognitive, longevity, skin, and peptide blends — alongside the institutional wholesale Research Protocol Kits programme.
His expertise spans GLP-1 receptor agonism research, growth hormone secretagogue mechanisms, mitochondrial-derived peptide biology, and multi-peptide blend formulation science.

Six research focus areas underpinning the APS catalogue.
GLP-1 Receptor Agonism
Incretin pharmacology, GLP-1R signalling pathway research, multi-receptor co-agonist compound characterisation across the Liraglutide → Semaglutide → Tirzepatide → Retatrutide lineage.
Growth Hormone Secretagogues
GHRH receptor agonist pharmacology, GHRP class characterisation, combined GHRH/GHRP research formulation design (CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin, GHRP-6, Hexarelin).
Regenerative Peptide Pharmacology
BPC-157 EGR-1/VEGFR2 mechanism research, Thymosin Beta-4 actin-binding pharmacology, combined-compound regenerative research design.
Mitochondrial Peptide Biology
Mitochondrial-derived peptides (MOTS-c, Humanin), mitochondrial-targeted compounds (SS-31/Elamipretide), retrograde signalling research.
Multi-Peptide Blend Formulation
Research formulation design for combined-mechanism investigation, including the KLOW, Glow, GH, and Metabolic Blend research formulations.
Analytical Quality Verification
HPLC analytical methods, third-party COA documentation standards, batch-level analytical verification protocols.
