Stig Pedersen-Bjergaard

Stig Pedersen-Bjergaard is a Professor at the Department of Pharmacy, University of Oslo since 2000 and holds a 20% position at the Department of Pharmacy, University of Copenhagen since 2008. His research focuses on pharmaceutical analytical chemistry, particularly the development of microextraction techniques like electromembrane extraction (EME) and liquid-phase microextraction (LPME).

• Specializes in isolating/concentrating drugs, metabolites, and peptides from biological samples
• Develops equipment (96-well plates, microchips) and theoretical frameworks for mass transport
• Authored two international textbooks in pharmaceutical analytical chemistry and bioanalysis (Wiley)

Research Trends include optimizing extraction windows, commercializing microextraction technologies, and evaluating green chemistry metrics for sustainable pharmaceutical analysis. Publications emphasize deep eutectic solvents, agarose membranes, and nanomaterial integration in extraction systems.

Teaching covers pharmaceutical raw material analysis, drug determination in biological samples, and general analytical chemistry. He serves as Editor for Advances in Sample Preparation and Associate Editor for Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis.
