McCampbell Analytical, Inc.
Alex Anderson is a research chemist and clinical analyst at McCampbell Analytical, Inc. He graduated from the University of California Davis in 2017 with a Bachelors of Science in Environmental Toxicology with an emphasis in Aquatic Toxicology. He now works at a private environmental consulting laboratory located in the east San Francisco Bay Area that performs analytical testing in a range of fields, including: aquatic toxicology, environmental chemistry, solids analysis, and clinical testing. He worked as a lead scientist in the aquatic toxicology department for over two years before moving to the research and development department.
As a research chemist at McCampbell he was tasked with starting a clinical testing department within the company. He has focused primarily on developing automated high-throughput reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays for the detection of the COVID-19 virus in patient samples, surface samples, and wastewater samples. In addition to his clinical work, he continues to be involved in developing and optimizing environmental chemistry test methods for the laboratory.
In the past he has worked as a teaching assistant and student mentor at the Bodega Marine Laboratory, and is excited to continue my involvement in the toxicology community through this directorship. Given his background in the private sector, he is eager to use insights from his environmental consulting experience to help promote student engagement and further the mission of NorCal SETAC.
