I have a broad background and interests in scientific and engineering technical-application and management with specific expertise in complex engineering projects, bioanalytical chemistry, sensors, and in vitro diagnostic instrumentation development. My research interests focus on bettering outcomes for the human condition – specifically in the form of improving healthcare diagnostics. Those interests lie at the interface of the analytical sciences and medicine and focus on the design, fabrication, analysis, and deployment of novel analytical technologies and bioanalytical sensors and constructs for use in the clinical environment. My past efforts in this area were either internally funded or funded by the National Institutes of Health or the National Science Foundation.

The prevalence of mass spectrometry in the bioanalytical and clinical arenas is well founded; the technique is particularly well suited for applications where identification and quantification of biologically important analytes are critical. This is particularly true in the field of metabolomics. However, many analytes undergo uncontrolled redox chemistry when subject to conditions necessary for ionization. In recognition of this fact, I worked closely with colleagues at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in an effort to develop a solution. The culmination of the work was an in-source porous emitter electrode controlled by an electrically floated potentiostat, which minimized unwanted analyte reduction or oxidation. A testament to this work is captured, in part, by the publications listed below.• Gamache PH, Meyer DF, Granger MC, Acworth IN. (2004). Metabolomic Applications of Electrochemistry/Mass Spectrometry. J Am Soc Mass Spectrom.• Kertesz V, Van Berkel GJ, Granger MC. (2005). Study and application of a controlled-potential electrochemistry-electrospray emitter for electrospray mass spectrometry.

A primary thrust of my research during my postdoctoral fellowship was furthering the use of magnetic actuation for chip-scale fluidic control. With slight modifications, similar strategies can be used for on-chip magnetic bead detection. The underlying translational goal of these efforts is deployment for clinical applications.
