I am Dr. Anil Bhatia, a Research Specialist-III at the UCR Metabolomics Core, University of California, Riverside. I specialize in metabolomics, analytical chemistry, and natural product research. I earned my Ph.D. in Applied Chemistry from the CSIR-National Botanical Research Institute in India (2009–2015), and since then, I have built a rewarding career in academic and applied research. My work focuses on method development for small molecule analysis, encompassing both targeted and untargeted metabolomics, as well as lipidomics. I utilize advanced platforms such as NMR, LC-MS, and GC-MS for high-resolution metabolic profiling. Over the years, I have developed standard operating procedures for metabolomics workflows, trained researchers in analytical methodologies, and supported collaborative research through data interpretation and grant writing. Prior to joining UCR, I completed postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Missouri and the University of Texas, where I worked on high-throughput metabolic profiling and cancer-related metabolomics. My publication record includes contributions to plant metabolomics, chemical structure elucidation, and the application of analytical instruments across disciplines. In addition to research, I actively contribute to international conferences, editorial boards, and peer-reviewed journals.
