Brian N. Kelly, PhD, DABCC, FAACC, After earning undergraduate degrees in Biochemistry and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from the University of Colorado I pursued a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Utah. Subsequently, I completed a 3-year post-doctoral fellowship in Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Virginia. As a clinical toxicology specialist with ARUP, I review test results to investigate whether a patient is compliant with prescribed medications and not using illicit or non-prescribed medications. At ARUP, I also have the pleasure of teaching residents and fellows in Pathology. In my independent consulting business, I assist small to mid-size clinical laboratories in the implementation of liquid-chromatography mass-spectrometry based analysis of biological specimens, among other methods, as well as providing ongoing regulatory oversight.
