JVIDÊÓƵ

Experience

Emma earned a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Indiana University and launched her industry career as an Analytical Chemist at JVIDÊÓƵ Ann Arbor. Leveraging previous LC-MS/MS expertise, she expanded her toolkit to include other mass spectrometry techniques, contributing to Extractables and Leachables (E&L) studies. In just a few years, Emma transitioned to leadership and was promoted to Manager of Advanced Analytics.

Working to ensure medicines are safe and accessible, the Advanced Analytics department specializes in E&L and mass spectrometry methods under both R&D and cGMP quality systems. The group runs complete programs, seeing a study through from early development, to validation, and finally to stability sample testing. Her team has over 99% on-time delivery, contributing to FDA approvals for life-saving drugs.

Emma is based at JVIDÊÓƵ Ann Arbor, but works closely with all of the Life Sciences labs across the Americas.
