Professor Anthony Moffat was previously Head of the Centre for Pharmaceutical Analysis which provided a focus for research and education in pharmaceutical analysis within the School and extended the world-class knowledge base in that field. In particular, Near-infrared spectroscopy was being used: to further the technique, increase its use in the pharmaceutical industry and get it accepted by the regulatory authorities.
He was previously Chief Scientist at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society where he gave advice on scientific matters to the Society’s Council and other departments within the Society. Part of his duties was to write policy papers concerning the scientific aspects of pharmaceutical health care and how it may be delivered to the community at large. He has extensive knowledge at first-hand of pharmacy in the community, academic and hospital settings, and has excellent links to the pharmaceutical industry. He also acted as the Society’s scientific spokesperson for the media.
He has over 300 publications as well as the co-authorship of 8 books (including Clarke’s Analysis of Drugs and Poisons).
His awards include the British Pharmaceutical Conference Science Award, Society of Analytical Chemistry Silver Medal, Philip Allen Award of the Forensic Science Society, joint award of the BUCHI Award, the Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences Medal, the Alan Curry Award of The International Association of Forensic Toxicologists and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Charter Gold Medal.
