About the Lectures
Join our lecture to delve into the ongoing debates surrounding vitamin D testing. Discover the key controversies, understand the latest research findings, and equip yourself with practical knowledge in this dynamic field. Then, earn how vitamin D is quantified using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), Enzyme-linked Immunoassays (ELISA), and Lateral Flow Immunoassays (LFIA). You will better understand the chemical blueprint of vitamin D, and how to achieve vitamin D sufficiency. You will also learn about the next advancement in measuring vitamin D with immediate test results using a simple yet sophisticated pocket reader.

Dr Armen Charchoglyan PhD
Dr. Charchoglyan completed his Ph.D. in Biotechnology, at Yerevan State University and National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, studying medical attributes of St. John’s Wort and developing controlled environmental platforms for production of medicinal plant bioactive compounds in vitro. His postdoctoral fellowship research in Japan and Germany focused on developing metabolic engineering approaches to enhance biomass production and specialized cell and tissue growth for secondary product biosynthesis. He is currently a Research Assistant, at the Advanced Analytical Centre, University of Guelph, developing a metabolomics platform at the Mass Spectrometry Facility. He is conducting research in Chemical Biology, Analytical Chemistry, and Biochemistry. His collaboration with immunology researchers has led to the development of methods for immune system biomarker research and the formulation and evaluation of immunomodulating compounds. Among his recent publications are “N-acetylcysteine and Its Immunomodulatory Properties in Humans and Domesticated Animals" in Antioxidants, 2023, and "Immunoceuticals: Harnessing Their Immunomodulatory Potential to Promote Health and Wellness" in Nutrients, 2022.
