Biography

Gregory K. Webster is an analytical chemist with over 30 years of pharmaceutical industry experience, spanning early-phase drug development through commercial manufacturing for human and animal health products. He holds a BS from St. Xavier College, an MS from Governors State University, and a PhD from Northern Illinois University. He is the editor of several books published by Jenny Stanford Publishing, including Supercritical Fluid Chromatography: Advances and Applications in Pharmaceutical Analysis (2014), Poorly Soluble Drugs: Dissolution and Drug Release (2016), and Chromatographic Method Development (2020).

Greg D. Doddridge received his BS in biochemistry from Purdue University and MS in chemistry from Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis. He has 23 years’ experience in pharma, including sampling, spectroscopy (NIR, Raman), chemometrics/multivariate data analysis, and analytical method development and validation. Since joining AbbVie in 2018, he has led the small molecule drug product PAT and rapid spectroscopy efforts. Prior to joining AbbVie, he worked at Eli Lilly and Zoetis.

Laila Kott is the senior director of Quality Control at Emergent BioSolutions and owner of Skipping Stone Scientific. She earned her BS in chemistry from the University of Toronto, MS in chemistry from the University of Waterloo, and PhD in bioanalytical chemistry from the University of Massachusetts. Dr Kott’s industrial experience spans from early-stage to late-stage to post-approval commitments. She has experience working in several large pharmaceutical companies, contract labs, and biotech startups. Her analytical background reflects her deep knowledge of many analytical techniques, which is echoed in her list of publications, including her previous book with Jenny Stanford Publishing, Chromatographic Method Development (2020).
