Professor James Barker

About

I graduated from the University of Manchester with a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry and PhD in bioanalysis. I then became a Research Fellow at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, working with the ISOLDE team developing ion source materials for CERN's beam-lines. Later, I returned to UK as a Senior Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry at University of Greenwich and then became manager of the world's first wholly commercial Accelerator Mass Spectrometry facility and Honorary Visiting Fellow at the University of York. Since 1999, I have been at Kingston University as Reader in Analytical Science (2006), as Associate Professor (2014) and Professor of Analytical Science (2020). I am Subject Area Lead in Analytical and Forensic Chemistry, the HSSCE Faculty's Director of Postgraduate Research and LSPC Deputy Director of Research and Enterprise. I have published over 150 articles including over 70 full peer-reviewed papers and one book and successfully supervised 27 PhD students, 16 as first supervisor, 3 PDRAs and 4 MRes students.

Research

Research Interests

  • The analysis, biochemistry and novel removal (by development of ecofriendly techniques) of elements and compounds of biological and environmental concern.
  • Development and validation of methods for analysis of drugs of abuse (e.g. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Lab-on-a-Chip Technologies) and drug-drug interactions. Our results have demonstrated that hair analysis can be used in addition to urine/blood analyses as a valuable tool for long-term monitoring of drug (ab)use. Owing to the wide detection window, this approach may also offer an alternative approach for out-of-competition testing.
  • Development of analytical and radiochemical techniques previously used in nuclear science such for pharmaceutical/biomedical applications.
  • Separation and characterisation of compounds obtained from plant extracts and their possible therapeutic use as anti-cancer agents.
