Melissa Hanna-Brown is an Associate Research Fellow within the Analytical R & D function of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Pfizer Global R & D Labs in Sandwich, Kent UK. Melissa's research interests are in separation science technology development, chromatographic and electrophoretic method development strategies, high resolution and chemometric approaches for pharmaceuticals or complex biofluid profiling (especially metabolomics) and predictive modelling of separations. She is currently involved in the EFPIA cross-industry topic team on Quality by Design for analytical Methods representing Pfizer. Her research experience also spans across the application of separation (chromatographic and electrophoretic) technologies as models for rapid prediction of drug-biomembrane partitioning. Melissa's previous position was Senior Lecturer in Separation Science at King's College London. Her PhD studies were carried out between King's College London and SmithKline Beecham on prediction of drug-biomembrane partitioning. Her postdoctoral research involved developing novel triple-column electrophoretic technology allowing sensitive detection of trace components in complex matrices via 2D-CE for which she won the Desty Memorial Prize for Contribution to Separation Science in 2000. Melissa has been an invited presenter at over 50 national and international conferences since the start of her PhD studies. Melissa is also editor for the Bioanalysis journal. Melissa has served as the Vice President on the RSC Analytical Division Council recently and now has joint chairs on this council and the Industry and Technology Forum. She is also a long-serving member of the RSC Separation Sciences Executive Committee.
