Susan Marie Lunte is the Ralph N. Adams Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Kansas. Her research focuses on bioanalytical chemistry, microchip electrophoresis, and neurochemical analysis. She develops innovative separation-based sensors for real-time monitoring of drugs and neurotransmitters in vivo, with applications in cardiovascular and metabolic disease diagnostics. Her work integrates microdialysis, electrochemical detection, and chip-based platforms for portable clinical assays.
Key research areas include: (1) peptide transport across the blood-brain barrier, (2) microchip-based diagnostics for heart disease, (3) cellular assays for reactive oxygen species analysis, and (4) miniaturized sensor systems for untethered animal studies. Notable achievements include pioneering on-animal sensors for neurotransmitter monitoring and developing electrochemical detection methods for peroxynitrite.
Professor Lunte has been recognized as a Top 50 Influential Woman in Analytical Sciences (2016) and among the Top 100 Global Analytical Scientists (2016). Her lab collaborates across disciplines to advance analytical tools for biomedical applications, with projects funded by grants focusing on neurochemistry, clinical diagnostics, and microfluidic technologies.
