2016 OMB Summer Meeting

182 / 435

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.

ZHOU, JOSEPH
Area of Expertise: dietary supplements and method development
I am currently the technical director of Sunshineville Health Products, Inc, a dietary supplement manufacturer in state
of West Virginia. I have been working in the US dietary supplement industry since 1995, and was a technical director
of NOW Foods and Nature's Sunshine Products, respectively, in charge of dietary supplement analytical methods
development, GMP and quality control. I have been actively participating in the AOAC dietary supplement official
method program since 2000. I was the AOAC study director and SLV coordinator of the glucosamine method, and one
of the SLV coordinators for the chondroitin method, as well as an ERP member for many AOAC methods. I received a
special recognition: AOAC 2005 study director of the year.
I am willing to continue to make my contribution to the AOAC official method program for dietary supplements, and
believe I have the technical capability to be an ERP member for many dietary supplement analytical methods.
