Dr. Jackson brings a broad and diverse analytical background. His primary area of focus is analysis methods for trace chemicals in blood samples using UV fluorescence and other techniques. His research includes the development of an analysis method for the cyanide metabolite 2-aminothiazoline-4-carboxylic acid (ATCA) and the development of the Cyanalyzer’s (cyanide exposure diagnostic) platform technology. Most of his research has had an emphasis on optimizing methods of analysis for CWAs.
Dr. Jackson is the inventor of the Cyanalyzer, a medical device that can detect trace concentration of cyanide in blood. It is currently undergoing advanced development by Seacoast in collaboration with South Dakota State University to produce a manufacturable instrument. Dr. Jackson's knowledge of biology, forensic science, and chemistry allows him to analyze problems from a unique perspective, aiding in the generation of innovative solutions to difficult problems.
Dr. Jackson earned his Bachelors of Science in Biology from Midwestern State University, a Master of Science in Forensic Science Sam Houston State University and his Ph. D. form South Dakota State University in Analytical Chemistry.
He has experience working as a laboratory Biologist. While at Saint-Gobain Vetrotex America he gained experience in Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QA/QC) and instrument calibration. Dr. Jacksond also has a number of years of forensic experience, he interned at the Montgomery County (Texas) Sheriff’s Office, where he gained experience in chain of custody and evidence preservation, as well as Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). He has also work on the detection an analysis of analytes of interest in biological fluids.
