Eric Woolf

Dr. Woolf currently directs the Clinical Regulated Bioanalysis Group of Merck Research Laboratories, West Point, PA. He received his B.A. in Chemistry from LaSalle College in 1982, and a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Seton Hall University in 1986. From 1986 to 1990 he was a member of the Drug Metabolism/Pharmacokinetics Dept. of Berlex Laboratories. He joined Merck Research Laboratories in 1990 as a research fellow. Dr. Woolf and his group have supported numerous clinical development projects that have led to the successful registration of Merck compounds. Since 1986, he has authored or co-authored over 50 research papers pertaining to bioanalysis and pharmacokinetics. His major research interests include the utilization of novel HPLC approaches in bioanalysis and the bioanalysis of unstable compounds.
