Research Interests
Ritchie’s research largely focuses on the development of multiplexed, non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (NACE-MS) methods for polar lipid analysis. Organic solvent based CE methods remain relatively unexplored. However, the expanded metabolite coverage this provides enables for more comprehensive metabolomic studies possible by CE-MS. The aim of Ritchie’s research is for the characterization of lipids from dried blood spot extracts for improved newborn screening of cystic fibrosis.
