SAMe Expert Review Panel – Statements of Expertise 

Michael Chan, BCIT  Throughout my educational and professional career, I have obtained extensive experience in the  development, optimization and validation of analytical methods for botanicals, natural products and  dietary supplements. I have performed and supervised single laboratory and collaborative validation  studies analytical methods including methods for the analysis of Aloe Vera, Ginseng, Echinacea,  Cranberry, Goldenseal, Turmeric and Kombucha, with several of the methods I have worked on being  published and accepted as first action OMA by AOAC. With my strong background and experience in  analytical chemistry and statistics I have a thorough understanding of the requirements to review and  evaluate method performance characteristics. Additionally, my pharmacognosy training has given a solid  foundation in natural products chemistry and the issues associated with analysis of complex sample  matrixes.  ‐‐‐  Nour Eddine Es‐Safi, Mohammad V University in Rabat (Morocco)  Chemist with knowledge of the AOAC Standards Development and Method Approval processes.  ‐‐‐  Mehmet Gumustas, Ankara University (Turkey)  My research interests covers analytical chemistry especially pharmaceuticals and chiral compounds. I  have been working on determination of SAMe from new developed drug delivery systems and rat  plasma by using HPLC.  ‐‐‐  Holly Johnson, AHPA  Holly E. Johnson Ph.D., is the Chief Science Officer for the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA).   She previously served for three years as Laboratory Director for Alkemist Labs, an ISO 17025 accredited  natural products testing lab specializing in botanical dietary supplements.  Dr. Johnson took her Ph.D. in  Pharmacognosy at the College of Pharmacy, University of Illinois – Chicago (UIC), under renowned  Pharmacognosist and researcher Dr. Norman Farnsworth.  Holly was awarded a National Institutes for  Health (NIH) Fellowship and trained at the UIC/NIH Center for Botanical Dietary Supplements.  She was a  Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for EthnoMedicine studying the etiology of  neurodegenerative disease, and also worked for Waters Corporation conducting technical training and  regulatory consulting for pharmaceutical and supplements companies.  She is currently a Research
