Summary
Christian Dior Freeman is a postdoctoral researcher and analytical chemist with 11 years of hands-on experience in LC-MS, Pyrolysis-GC-MS, ion mobility MS, and complementary imaging techniques to characterize small molecules, plastic additives, and micro-/nanoplastics in biological samples. He earned a PhD from the University of Georgia, where he studied lipid profiles in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and has applied that expertise to improve targeted newborn screening assays during an ORISE/CDC fellowship. At Emory’s CLUES lab he combines pyrolysis and LC-MS with electron microscopy and batch analytics to push quantitative MNP detection in human samples, bridging method development with public-health applications. Known for meticulous instrument maintenance, method standardization, and data-processing fluency, he translates complex mass-spec workflows into scalable protocols for partner labs nationwide. An unexpected thread through his work is a focus on making high-resolution analytical methods practical for routine clinical and screening environments.
