Dr. Bartlett’s lab research centers around applications of analytical chemistry to study biological problems. Currently, he and his team are studying the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of drug substances and environmental toxicants with the goal of developing novel methods to address significant questions in the biomedical sciences. In collaboration with Dr. James Bruckner, they aim to provide realistic risk assessments for common environmental contaminants. Furthermore, in collaboration with Dr. Alvin V. Terry at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG), they also study many compounds shown to affect memory and cognition, and have developed several highly sensitive assessments to determine overall impact on the brain.

Research Areas: Methods to determine therapeutic agents, metabolites and degradation products from biological and non-biological matrices; oligonucleotide therapeutics & biomarkers

Opportunities for Collaboration: DMPK studies of therapeutic agents; assessment of biomarkers for diseases
