Drug counterfeits – identification via light stable isotopes and trace elemental patterns

Else is a Pharmaceutical Scientist from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, holding a PhD in Life Science from the Technical University of Denmark. Else aims to understand distinct multidimensional chemical fingerprints in pharmaceuticals to identify falsified, counterfeit, and poor-quality medicines through isotopic ratio mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Else specializes in applying highly advanced quantitative analytical techniques and multivariate data analysis to characterize pharmaceutical systems and complex sample matrices.
