Dr. Martellini has been gaining science and research expertise for >20 years, across the fields of academia, government (Health & Human Services) as well as coast to coast experience in cannabis testing (From Alaska to NJ).

Having studied during her post doctorate at UTSW, among several Nobel Laureates, a solid foundation in science ethics and R&D has proven endlessly useful in ensuring testing standards for each unique product's chemistry is validated as accurate and precise. Even more essential, has been dual expertise in chemistry and microbiology, since both disciplines are required in cannabis testing.

Always valuing collaboration, Dr. Martellini has published her research in peer reviewed manuscripts (i.e. Journal of Immunology) as well as presented at national conferences, including: the American Society for Microbiologists, the American Public Health Association and the Analytical Cannabis Expo.

As a lab director, she fosters subject matter expertise in all scientists in the lab, so their knowledge goes beyond simply following SOPs. Every unique product poses a challenge in maintaining testing standards and quality, which is why R&D experience is critical to maintaining the most competitive methods.

In her spare time, she enjoys participating in the non-profit organization, the NYC Ghostbusters. She also has a membership to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and enjoys inspiring afternoons between the museum and strolling Central Park.

Ronan holds a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His undergraduate laboratory experience focused on CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing of evolutionary and developmental genes within grass species, Zea mays and Brachypodium distachyon, to determine the role of domestication and understand conserved genetic sequences of related species. Following graduation, he continued his research career at Drexel University, where he contributed to studying pH regulatory mechanisms and mitochondria function in Plasmodium falciparum. His work included metabolic gene knockdown approaches aimed at inducing parasite death, as well as fluorescence microscopy imaging of ATP localization across the asexual erythrocytic cycle. Since joining Anthea Labs, he contributes to the team as a sampler/lab technician, supporting laboratory operations. Outside of work, Ronan enjoys exploring new places, going to the beach, hiking, reading, and cooking.
