Summary
👤
SeniorNathan Dodder is a research scientist based in San Diego with 12 years of postdoctoral and applied research experience developing isotope-dilution and non-targeted mass spectrometry methods to quantify contaminants, metabolites, and protein biomarkers across diverse environmental and biological matrices. He designs and executes environmental surveys and maintains a broad array of instrumentation (LC/QQQ, LC/Q-TOF, MALDI-TOF, GC/MS, GC×GC/TOF), combining hands-on lab work with computational tool-building in R for spectral interpretation, QC automation, and fate modeling. His background includes roles at NIST and SCCWRP, where he advanced analytical standards and contaminant surveillance approaches now applied in academic and regulatory settings. As an Adjunct Associate Professor and researcher at SDSU’s Hoh Environmental Health Lab, he bridges teaching, field studies, and lab-based method development. Notably, he integrates suspect/non-target workflows to reveal unexpected environmental contaminants, turning complex mass spectral data into actionable exposure insights.
