Description: New technologies are urgently needed for broad spectrum drug screening given an alarming increase in drug overdose fatalities exacerbated during a pandemic. Immunoassays are widely used for urine drug testing, but are prone to bias due to antibody cross-reactivity. We will discuss a high throughput platform for nontargeted screening of a broad array of drugs of abuse in urine based on multisegment injection-capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry. This platform offers a rapid yet accurate platform for comprehensive surveillance of prescribed and illicit drugs of abuse among high-risk clinically depressed patients, as well as recent tobacco smoke exposures in large populations globally.
Start Date: Upon registration

Philip Britz-McKibbin is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. He is currently a Cystic Fibrosis Canada Researcher. Dr. Britz-McKibbin obtained his BSc in Chemistry (U. Toronto, 1994), and PhD in Analytical Chemistry (UBC, 2000) and a Japan Society for Promotion of Science PDF position in Japan (Himeji Institute of Technology, 2001-2003) prior to starting his academic position at McMaster. His research interests in bio-analytical chemistry, separation science, mass spectrometry and metabolomics include the design of novel analytical methods to quantify and identify metabolites of clinical significance in complex biological samples, including new advances in drug screening. Philip’s laboratory aims to discover new biomarkers that support early detection and treatment of human diseases relevant to population health and preventative medicine with emphasis on inherited metabolic disorders, and chronic human diseases.
