Dilrukshi Ramanathan, Ph.D.

Dil Ramanathan, Ph.D., joined NJCSTM in 2008 as Assistant Professor of Analytical Chemistry.  Her laboratory research is rooted in analytical chemistry and her instrument of choice is mass spectrometry.  Over 15 years, she has applied her expertise in mass spectrometry, analytical chemistry, chemical instrumentation techniques, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics to develop novel, rapid, sensitive and reproducible methods to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze drugs and their metabolites.

Ramanathan received her B.S. degree in Chemistry from Iowa State University and a Ph.D. in Analytical/Physical Chemistry from the University of Florida.  She also completed one year as a postdoctoral researcher/faculty intern at the University of Utah, where she applied mass spectrometry to study binding and thermodynamic properties of metal clusters.
