Sandrine Merette

Sandrine Merette is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and a mass spectrometry scientist at the Provincial Toxicology Centre within the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC). Her work bridges forensic toxicology, public health, and data science.

• B.Sc. in Applied Chemistry, University of Hertfordshire, UK
• Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry, University of Hertfordshire, UK

Dr. Merette's research focuses on mass spectrometry and data mining for identifying novel psychoactive substances (NPS) in postmortem and clinical toxicology, illicit drug supplies, and wastewater. She also investigates NPS metabolism and its implications.

Her recent publications analyze NPS trends through population-scale mass spectrometry datasets, postmortem drug concentration studies, and metabolomics using language models. Key domains include forensic toxicology, computational chemistry, and public health surveillance.

She is affiliated with the Provincial Toxicology Centre and UBC Faculty of Medicine, contributing to clinical toxicology, illicit drug research, and bioanalytical chemistry.
