YANG, DAN-HUI (Dorothy) I have been working on food safety and environment testing for the past 5 years, mainly taking the advantage of Mass Spec technology advancements. For every application, we need to demonstrate the analytical performance -- precision, accuracy, sensitivity etc. Before that, I worked for Agilent clinical program, where we developed reagents and assay protocol, conduct multi-site validation and clinical trial. I would love to apply my analytical experience and serve in expert review panel. I am currently a reviewer for American Chemical Society publications on demand basis.

ZHANG, YANJUN Area of Expertise: methodologies and dietary supplements

Yanjun Zhang, has been trained in a Pharmacy School 30 years ago (1985) and has been working in the field of botanical natural product analysis since then, including natural products isolation, structure determination, quantitative and qualitative analysis of natural products, new drug development from Herbal medicine, etc. I have been using and guiding to use numerous analytical instruments and techniques, such as HPLC, LC-MS, GC, GC MS, NMR, NIR, and HPTLC etc. The natural products I’ve been studied include flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, lignans, saponions, essential oils, sugars, organic acids, fatty acids, and polysacchrides etc. Currently I guide establish the Qualitative and Quantitative analytical method in Herbalife Quality group for internal use. With all the expertise mentioned above, I believe I can make great contribution to the review panel, and most important I want to contribute my expertise on the biological botanical natural products analysis to the AOAC Expert Review Panel for Dietary Supplement Ingredients.
