Jared L. Anderson serves as the Alice Hudson Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Iowa State University, where he leads an active research group focused on advancing separation science and analytical chemistry. His laboratory develops innovative approaches to chemical measurement and analysis using ionic liquids, polymeric ionic liquids, and magnetic ionic liquids for applications in pharmaceutical analysis, environmental monitoring, and nucleic acid diagnostics.
Dr. Anderson's research interests center on separation science with particular emphasis on the application of ionic liquids in chromatographic separations and sample preparation. His group has pioneered techniques using magnetic ionic liquids for nucleic acid extraction, developed novel stationary phases for comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography, and created polymeric ionic liquid-based sorbent coatings for solid-phase microextraction. These innovations address critical challenges in pharmaceutical quality control, particularly in the analysis of genotoxic impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on practical analytical solutions, with research trending toward point-of-care diagnostic applications using smartphone technology, 3D printed extraction devices, and advanced nucleic acid analysis techniques. The work bridges fundamental chemistry with real-world applications in food safety, environmental monitoring, and clinical diagnostics.
Dr. Anderson actively mentors graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, with several former trainees securing competitive academic positions and industry roles. His group maintains collaborations with academic research groups across Europe, South America, North America, and Asia, as well as numerous industrial partners in the pharmaceutical sector. The laboratory participates in the ACS Project SEED program, providing research opportunities for underrepresented high school students.
The Anderson Research Group operates state-of-the-art facilities for developing and testing novel separation methodologies, with particular expertise in gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and microextraction techniques. Current projects focus on creating tunable solvents for specific analytical challenges, with applications spanning from pharmaceutical quality control to environmental monitoring and clinical diagnostics.
