He has been an analytical chemist for over 20 years, working in a wide range of application areas from \u03b413C isotope ratio measurements of methane gas in samples from Azerbaijan, to his current work developing high accuracy exact matching isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry based methodology for everolimus (Zortress\u00ae, Certican\u00ae) in whole blood, via the analysis of army surplus tents for elevated levels of organophosphate pesticides linked to a civilian poisoning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">In the last decade Chris\u2019 research has been mainly concerned with the development of high accuracy, low measurement uncertainty Reference Measurement Procedures (RMP) used to assign reference values to Certified Reference Materials (CRM) and EQA\/PT schemes for environmental, food, forensic and clinical applications. Chris is a member of the Organic Analysis Working Group of the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance (CCQM), which through the international bureau of weights and measures (BIPM) organise National Metrology Institute (NMI) laboratory intercomparisons in a quest to standardise global chemical and biochemical measurements.  Much of Chris\u2019 current work is focused in the area of immunosuppressant TDM, an area of measurement science where there is a direct link between the quality of measurement and patient welfare and therefore a beneficial use of Metrolology Institutes resources to help standardise their routine measurement in clinical laboratories across the globe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\"><span class=\"style12b\">David Holt<\/span> is Emeritus Professor of Bioanalytics at St George\u2019s, University of London, UK and is a director of Analytical Services International Ltd, which has laboratories on the St George\u2019s Campus. He has more than 40 years\u2019 experience in the measurement of drugs as a guide to therapy, and has been responsible for the development of assays used to monitor a wide variety of therapeutic agents. For over 20 years he was the Director of the Analytical Unit at St George\u2019s, where he was also responsible for Forensic Toxicology Services provided to Her Majesty\u2019s Coroners, pathologists and law enforcement agencies for the analysis of illicit and prescription drugs. Following a doctoral thesis on the measurement of digoxin he has been involved in definitive clinical pharmacokinetic studies of antiarrhythmic drugs, in particular amiodarone, and a broad range of immunosuppressive drugs. Currently, he is involved in the management of International Proficiency Testing Schemes for immunosuppressive drugs, in the identification of novel drugs entering the illicit drug market and in problems associated with the detection of drugs used in drug-facilitated crime, as well as in developing assays to assess the quality of drug formulations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">Professor Holt has advised on several consensus panels on immunosuppressive drug monitoring and is a frequent speaker on a broad range of issues relating to bioanalytics and clinical toxicology. He is the author of over 350 publications in peer reviewed journals and invited contributions to books. He is an active member of several national and international scientific societies involved in transplantation and cardiology and he is a past President of the International Association of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style10n\" style=\"margin: 0;\"><a href=\"#top\">Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\"><a name=\"IW2422\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"style14b\" style=\"margin: 0;\">AB SCIEX Industry Workshop<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.absciex.com\/\" target=\"blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/absciex140x45.gif\" width=\"140\" border=\"0\" alt=\"AB SCIEX\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12b\" style=\"margin: 0;\">Advancing your Toxicology Analyses; Adopting the Latest in Mass Spectrometry Innovations<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">Presenter: <span class=\"style12b\">Matthew Clabaugh<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">Market Development Manager<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">AB SCIEX<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">An overview of new tools available for rapid and reliable screening methods for toxicological compounds as well as an approach for simultaneous quantitative and qualitative LC\/MS\/MS analysis will be given.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12b\" style=\"margin: 0;\">Introducing Mass Spectrometry into the Clinical Lab<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">Presenter: <span class=\"style12b\">Dr. Jesse Seegmiller<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">Field Application Support Specialist<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">AB SCIEX<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12n\" style=\"margin: 0;\">Why are so many clinical diagnostic laboratories adopting LC\/MS\/MS to provide rapid, accurate, and reliable test results?
