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.
