Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis
Sarah Dowling's research has made significant contributions to the fields of analytical chemistry and environmental science. By developing a dual-technique assay for analyzing organophosphorus compounds, Dowling's work enhances environmental monitoring and defense applications. Insect-based chemical sensing, as demonstrated in LC-MS/MS analysis of blow fly samples, offers potential solutions for detecting chemical warfare agents. Additionally, advancements in urine drug screening using paper spray mass spectrometry enable high-throughput detection and automated analysis. Dowling's research also optimized paper spray substrates and solvents for hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules, improving the detection of drugs and chemical warfare agent hydrolysis products in soil.
