I have 40 years of experience and specialize in the field of clinical chemistry and general clinical laboratory operations with specific knowledge in the areas of such critical care measurements as blood gases and electrolytes, and such dyshemoglobins as carboxyhemoglobin, laboratory standards development and application, and external quality assessment and quality control testing. I have published on such topics as blood gas, measurement of oxygen and hyperlipidemis, laboratory standards and clinical laboratory quality assessment. I have testified on blood gas instrumentation and application. I have served on many organizational standards development groups where I have not only a developed technical expertise, but also learned to work with a diverse group of highly talented experts and identify viable solutions.
