Short Bio
Veronika is a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Charles University. She graduated from Pharmacy and received her Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Analysis under the supervision of Prof. L. Nováková. During her Ph.D., she was dealing with current trends in microextraction approaches based on solid phase extraction and liquid-liquid extraction for fast UHPLC-MS and UHPSFC-MS analyses.
Currently, her research is focused on the development and optimization of new methods using supercritical and gas-expanded fluids for extraction and analysis of biologically active compounds from various matrices.
