Russell Phillip Grant, PhD

Dr. Grant earned a PhD in chromatographic and mass spectrometric technologies from the University of Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom. He continued his scientific training in various industrial settings, which have included senior scientist at GSK, principal scientist at Cohesive Technologies, technical director at Eli Lilly, and director of mass spectrometry at Esoterix Endocrinology.

Dr Grant has pioneered the use of direct injection technologies, chromatographic systems multiplexing, utility of automation, and new analytical platforms for application in bioanalytical applications. His research goals are focused upon improvements in speed, sensitivity, and quality of liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) analytical systems and assays.

Dr Grant serves as clinical chemistry chair for the American Society of Mass Spectrometry and is a member of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry.
