ARA Academy 2021 ARA Fellow
Dr. Schnackenberg's work centers on applying advanced analytical chemistry to toxicology and drug safety. From 2003-2019, she focused on NMR metabolomics to evaluate drug toxicity mechanisms. She subsequently adopted MALDI imaging mass spectrometry techniques. As Branch Chief, she directs projects including drug-induced hepatotoxicity biomarker evaluation, patient-specific cell line responses to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and novel mass spectrometry tools for bacterial and viral identification.
Policy Impact
Directs FDA research programs advancing drug safety evaluation and mass spectrometry tools for pathogen identification, strengthening Arkansas's federal research presence.
