About
Dr. Joanna Simpson is a leading figure in clinical mass spectrometry and steroid endocrinology, whose work has redefined the precision of hormone analysis. Her primary research focuses on advancing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methodologies for the accurate quantification of steroids in biological fluids. Her most impactful contribution is the development of a practical, high-throughput supported liquid extraction (SLE) protocol for measuring 18 distinct steroids in plasma and serum, a method that addresses critical challenges in sample preparation, calibration reliability, and chromatographic separation. This landmark work, published in 2024 and already garnering 18 citations, has become a gold-standard reference for laboratories seeking robust, reproducible steroid profiling. By optimizing the dynamic range and sensitivity of LC-MS/MS, Dr. Simpson has enabled more reliable clinical diagnostics for conditions such as adrenal disorders and hormonal imbalances. Her achievements underscore a commitment to bridging analytical chemistry with patient care, providing researchers and clinicians with tools that enhance both the accuracy and efficiency of steroid measurement. For any student or researcher entering the field of quantitative bioanalysis, Dr. Simpson’s work represents a masterclass in method validation and practical innovation.
