Overview

Dr Sara Ghorbani Gorji is a postdoctoral research fellow in environmental health sciences within the Queensland Alliance of Health sciences (QAEHS). Her background is non-target analysis and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Sara completed her PhD at UQ School of Agriculture and Food Sciences (SAFS), in 2019. The main focus of her PhD was using targeted and non-targeted mass spectrometry to profile lipid oxidation in oil in water emulsion food systems and to identify natural antioxidants to retard lipid oxidation. Following her PhD studies, she worked as a senior research assistant at UQ SAFS. In this position she worked on applying metabolomics to investigate the phytochemicals in plants. In 2020 she joined QAEHS and her current research is focused on developing novel sampling methods and target and non-target mass spectrometry strategies to tackle chemicals of emerging concern in humans and the environment.
