معرفی
Susan M. Lunte is the Ralph N. Adams Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Director of the Adams Institute for Bioanalytical Chemistry and the NIH COBRE Center for Molecular Analysis of Disease Pathways at the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy. Her research bridges neurobiology, analytical chemistry, and bioengineering.
- Education: B.A. from Kalamazoo College (1980), Ph.D. from Purdue University (1984)
Research interests focus on bioanalytical methods for blood-brain barrier peptide transport, microdialysis-coupled microchip electrophoresis, and cell-based assays for oxidative stress markers. Projects include chip-based clinical diagnostics for heart disease and on-animal sensors for neurotransmitter monitoring.
Recent publications highlight advancements in microfluidic devices for in vivo neurochemical analysis, carnosine’s anti-inflammatory properties, and portable electrochemical detection systems. Key subfields include neuroactive peptides, drug metabolism, and biomedical microsystems.
She leads the Lunte Research Group, which develops miniaturized sensors for freely moving animals and clinical diagnostics. Research facilities include the Multidisciplinary Research Building and NIH-funded infrastructure.
