Dr. Brian Buckley is the Executive Director of Laboratories at the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI) and is a member of the graduate faculty at both Rutgers University and UMDNJ. Dr. Buckley received a B.S. in chemistry from the University of New Hampshire, a PhD in analytical chemistry from North Carolina State University and has also had a post-doctoral appointment at The Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He has worked as a Laboratory Manager for the Nestles Quality Assurance Laboratory in Dublin Ohio.
His research group specializes in spectroscopic, mass spectrometric and chromatographic instrument modification for matrix specific analyses. Their work has focused on methods development for the analysis of environmental contaminants at their biological interface. Their work has included; biofluid extractions for estimates of bioavailability, trace metals quantification and speciation by chromatography coupled to plasma mass spectrometry and mass spectral analysis of proteins and metabolites as part of a new metabolomics initiative. They have also been working on Microwave Assisted Solvent Extraction (MASE) and Ion Trap Mass Spectrometric analysis techniques for active contaminants, drug candidates and their metabolites. In addition they have begun to examine the use of solid phase micro extraction (SPME) for isolation and pre-concentration of synthetic organic chemicals in environmental and biological matrices.
