Maskell, Peter - Huddersfield University - Department of Biological Sciences

个人简介

Peter Maskell started his career as a Pharmacologist graduating with BSs (Hons) in Pharmacology from the University of Portsmouth in 1996. Following graduation he worked at Wyeth Laboratories as Quality Control Analyst until starting a PhD investigating GABAA receptors at Oxford Brookes University in 1997. He was awarded his PhD in 2001. This was followed by postdoctoral research as a KTP associate at Oxford Brookes University (in collaboration with Vernalis) and the University of Birmingham. In 2005 he was appointed as a Pharmacology Teaching Fellow at the University of Bristol. In 2009 he became a Lecturer in Forensic Toxicology/Forensic Toxicologist at the University of Dundee. As part of his remit he was responsible for quality management of the forensic toxicology laboratory that was provided analysis of various post-mortem samples for the Central, Tayside and Fife regions of Scotland under contract from the Scottish Crown Office for unexplained death cases. During his time he researched both post-mortem drug redistribution and Novel Psychoactive substances (NPS). His research publiched in the British Medical Journal on the emergence of Phenazepam was used as lead information by the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) advice to the UK government and lead to the import ban and then the controlling of Phenazepam in the UK. Dr Peter Maskell was appointed as Senior Lecturer in Forensic Science at the University of Huddersfield in October 2013.

研究领域

Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) AKA Designer Drugs There are increasing numbers of novel psychoactive substances being detected in the EU and around the world. I am interested in further characterising these drugs both in term of detection in biological samples and also their pharmacological and physicochemical characteristics. Post-Mortem Redistribution Post-mortem redistribution is the moment of drugs in the body after death. This further hinders the interpretation of the levels of drugs detected postmortem. I am utilising in vitro techniques to further understand this important phenomena.
