Dr. Brian Buckley, PhD
Title: Associate Director, BRTC
Affiliation: Rutgers, The State University of NJ
Department: Pharmacology and Toxicology
Research Interests:
Dr. Brian Buckley is an Analytical Chemist focused on biomonitoring of environmental contaminants. He is a member of the graduate faculty of both Rutgers University and UMDNJ.
Currently he specializes in spectroscopic, mass spectrometric and chromatographic methods development for analysis of environmental contaminants and their metabolites. This includes methods development for LC and GC/ITMS, utilizing the multiple MS capability of the instrument for improvements in sensitivity. His research group has focused on Microwave Assisted Solvent Extraction (MASE), solid phase micro extraction (SPME) and Ion Trap Mass Spectrometric analysis techniques for active contaminants and their metabolites. They have used synthetic biofluid extractions for estimating bioavailability and human health risks of heavy metals and metal speciation by chromatography coupled to plasma mass spectrometryincluding Hg, As, and Cr. His most recent work has focused on developing metabolite profiles, storing the profiles in a searchable database and creating appropriate platforms for utilization of the database.
