Sangeeta Tanna Author

Sangeeta Tanna has a PhD in Pharmaceutics and is a Reader in Pharmaceutical Bioanalysis. Her expertise and research interests are the pharmaceutical bioanalysis and drug delivery fields. Her early research focused on developing instrumental methods for measuring the glucose-dependent delivery of insulin from a “smart” gel. This led to the development of microanalytical methodologies for the determination of therapeutic drugs from dried blood spots based on LC-MS, LC-MS/MS, and LC-HRMS studies. Applications of this work to patient healthcare include improved medications for newborn babies and to assess adherence to cardiovascular drug therapy for adult patients. She has a track record of published papers, invited international conference presentations, grants, and awards for this research. Graham Lawson has a PhD in Analytical Chemistry and his expertise is in instrumental analysis, in disparate areas such as environmental exposure in the polymer industry, the identification of migrants from food packaging, and factors influencing drug delivery and clinical applications. The unifying themes are the detection of ultra-low levels of contamination in complex matrices and the protection of people from adverse exposures. Dr. Lawson’s current research interests include novel analytical techniques applied to dried blood spot analyses and to counterfeit drug detection.
