Tony Wagstaff
PhD Student
Robert Gordon University
Biography
I am a Hydro Nation Scholar and PhD researcher in the school of Pharmacy and Life Sciences at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. My PhD is focussed on investigating the presence, fate and ecotoxicity of pharmaceutical enantiomers in environmental waters. Over the course of my studies I will develop and validate a new chiral UHPLC-MS/MS method and apply this to monitor environmental waters across Scotland. Identified pharmaceutical enantiomers of concern will then undergo toxicological studies across three trophic levels, the data from which will be used to inform policy and formulation changes in the hopes of making prescriptions greener for the environment.
