Biography
Vincenzo Abbate obtained his Pharm. D in 2004 at Federico II University of Naples (Italy). He then completed a PhD in Chemistry and Analytical Sciences at The Open University (UK) in 2008. He was then awarded a prestigious Maplethorpe Fellowship of the University of London. He is currently a Reader in Bioanalysis at King's College London (UK), where he leads a group of ten researchers and is the Programme Director for the MSc in Analytical Toxicology. Dr Abbate is the President of the IUPAC Subcommittee on Toxicology and Risk Assessment. He is member of several societies such as the RSC, ACS, SOT, and TIAFT, and he is a Chartered Chemist (CChem) and Chartered Scientist (CSci). He is author/co‐author of more than 85 peer‐reviewed publications.
