  • Area of expertise
    Analytical Chemistry
  • Years of experience
    25+
  • Highest qualification
    PhD, C.Chem., MRSC.

Warwick has participated as an external expert on working groups for the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for processing contaminants, presenting on MCPD and Glycidyl esters in Brussels in 2016. He was also part of an expert panel for the AOAC discussing a scientific opinion for the analyses of these compounds in infant formulae. Warwick has authored/ co-authored over 13 peer-reviewed papers.

Warwick attended the EURL conferences for the analyses of veterinary medicines and presents on issues relating to processing contaminants, as well as having published on human exposure to phthalates and chaired and organised an RSc meeting in 2004 on endocrine disruptors as part of his involvement on the panel for the NERAD of the RSc. Warwick has also spent much of his career analysing pesticide residues and has worked for the environmental contaminants section. 

Most recently Warwick presented at the Association of Public Analysts conference in Cardiff, 2018; lectured on food safety to students from Palermo University in 2021, and is now leading in areas of method refresh for the Veterinary Medicines team.
