Livia S. Eberlin

Livia S. Eberlin is a Research Fellow at the Department of Natural Resources Canada in Edmonton and a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, where she works in the laboratory of Prof. Richard Zare. Her research focuses on the application of advanced mass spectrometry techniques, particularly Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging (DESI-MSI), in biomedical contexts such as drug distribution imaging and cancer research.

• BS in Chemistry, State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil (2007)
• PhD in Analytical Chemistry, Purdue University (2012)
• Postdoctoral Researcher, Stanford University (2016)

Her work bridges analytical chemistry and biomedical applications, emphasizing the development of methodologies to visualize molecular distributions. A key project involves investigating sodium channel blockers' transdermal penetration using high-resolution DESI-MS imaging, in collaboration with Prof. Justin Du Bois' research group.
