Kathleen Murphy Email and Phone Number

Worked as an inorganic chemist contracted at The Marine Institute, and in stability testing of pharmaceuticals in AbbVie Westport (formerly Allergan), CLS, and Alkermes. While in the Marine Institute I tested seafood and seawater for heavy metals using both ICP-MS and HPLC. In other contract companies I have tested pharmaceutical samples for leachables (both known and unknown), target compound identification and stability, moisture, and physical characteristics. While working in both cGMP and ISO 17025 regulations I have used HPLC, UPLC, ICP-MS, Karl Fischer, Dissolution, and other wet chemistry techniques.

I worked as a Researcher and Laboratory Assistant during a work placement opportunity during college. I worked to develop diagnostic ELISAs for the Evidence Evolution machine. I handled blood and serum samples and performed both exploratory and quality assurance experiments.
