Collagen
I have over the past 40 years worked with varying ways of characterizing proteins ranging from sizing, antigenic properties,
enzymatic susceptibility and amino acid sequences to mention a few.

I have more than 30 years of comprehensive experience in analytical method development and validation, using a wide
variety of analytical techniques. My expertise is in development and validation of analytical methods with particular
emphasis on HPLC, LC-MS applications and bioactivity guided preparative separation of complex mixtures and analysis of
biological samples and dietary supplements. In addition to HPLC technique I have significant experience with atomic
absorption spectroscopy (AA), inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP), photoacoustic spectroscopy (PA), UV-
Vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis, mass spectrometry (MS), gas chromatography (GC), GC-MS, LC-MS, NMR and wet
techniques.
Before founding GAAS Corporation/GAAS Analytical, I served as director of the Analytical Core at an NIH funded Botanical
Center (Arizona Center for Phytomedicine Research). The Facility focused on quantitation and identification of natural
products and dietary supplements, particularly anti-inflammatory compounds from turmeric, ginger and boswellia. I
developed methods to analyze these compounds from the plant materials, extracts, commercially available dietary
supplements and from different biological matrices. I also developed and validated new assay methods according to cGLP
regulations, to quantify novel cancer drugs in plasma and urine using QQQ LC/MS technique; identifying metabolites of new
cancer drugs in plasma and urine using TOF LC/MS technique and calculating pharmacokinetic parameters.
I am an active member of AOAC International; I joined the organization in 2002. Currently I am member of AOAC’s
Stakeholder Panel on Dietary Supplements and member of various working groups. I have participated in multiple AOAC
organized collaborative studies (glucosamine, ginkgo, saw palmetto) in order to validate analytical methods to be used by the
dietary supplement industry. I was Horwitz advisor of AOAC until the restructuring the Official Methods of Analysis (OMA)
process in January 2008, when the role of method advisors and Horwitz advisors was retired. For 5 years I have been serving
as member of the Presidential Task Force on Dietary Supplements of AOAC, and also served as member of Expert Review
Panels of AOAC. I was selected in June 2015 to serve a 5 year term as the member of USP’s Non-botanical Dietary
Supplements Expert Committee.

Lutein
My name is Dr. Hong You and I am a principal scientist at Eurofins Dietary Supplement Analysis Center. I am willing to serve
the ERP of Lutein and provide my opinions to the method developers as a reviewer. I have 5 years of experience in analyzing
provitamin A carotenoids and non-provitamin xanthrophylls in different matrices. I am one of the carotenoid analysts of the
Africa Biofortified Sorghum (ABS) Project. I also have developed HPLC methods which can simultaneously separate, identify
and quantify colored (xanthophylls, carotenes, and their isomers) and colorless (phytoene, phytofluene and their isomers)
carotenoids in one run. I believe I am a well-qualified candidate for this role, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Lutein
I have a Ph.D. degree in biochemistry & biophysics plus three years postdoc and five years industry experience in analytical
and nutrition analysis. I developed quantitative methods for collagen and carotenoids (including lutein) analysis in various
matrices. I served as stakeholder of SPSFAM during 13-15 and am very familiar with various analytical techniques including
HPLC, UV/VIS, ELSD/FLD, LC-MSMS etc.
