Curt Pettersson

Curt Pettersson is a Professor at Uppsala University's Department of Medicinal Chemistry (Analytical Pharmaceutical Chemistry). His research focuses on advanced analytical techniques, including liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), capillary electrophoresis (CE), and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), applied to pharmaceutical analysis, metabolomics, and environmental science.

His primary research interests include:

• Method development for chromatographic separations and mass spectrometry
• Metabolomics in biomedical and environmental contexts
• Biodegradation of pharmaceuticals and environmental pollutants using fungal systems
• Doping control analysis through metabolite profiling

Pettersson's recent publications (2019-2024) demonstrate strong emphasis on:

• Optimization of LC-MS methodologies for complex biological matrices
• Environmental applications of white-rot fungi (Trametes versicolor) in pollutant degradation
• Metabolomic investigations in cancer, ototoxicity, and marine biology
• Innovations in doping control detection for equine and human sports
