Biosketch and Research Interests

Matt, no relation to Agent Fox Mulder, is a Drug Discovery Scientist who joined the Lindsley Laboratory in December of 2006. His specialty is analytical chemistry. Matt is responsible for the knowledge and maintenance of the analytical instrumentation in the lab (including, but not necessarily limited to: mass directed preparative LCMS, analytical LCMS, chiral LCMS, Q-Tof, ULPC, microwave synthesizers, as well as other various lab instrumentation). As of late, Matt has also been responsible for maintaining the labs website, and everything SharePoint.

He obtained his degree in Environmental Sciences/Environmental Chemistry at Calvin College in Grand Rapids Michigan. Since graduating, he has spent time working in environmental labs, and pharmaceutical manufacturing quality control labs.

Besides working in the Lindsley lab, Matt has also spent time in both the DMPK (Drug Metabolism Pharmacokinetics) and Behaviorial Pharmacology labs, helping them set-up/optimize/bring in house various methods and instrumentation.
