About

Andreas F. Lehner is a leading researcher in equine pharmacology and toxicology, with a primary focus on the detection and regulation of therapeutic and performance-altering substances in horses. His work is instrumental in ensuring fair competition and animal welfare in the racing and equestrian industries. Lehner’s major contributions center on developing sensitive analytical methods, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), to identify and quantify drugs in complex biological matrices like urine and plasma. His most-cited paper, “A GC-MS Method for the Determination of Isoxsuprine in Biological Fluids of the Horse,” with 9 citations, exemplifies this work by providing a reliable technique for monitoring isoxsuprine—a drug used to treat navicular disease—which is regulated as a Class 4 compound by the Association of Racing Commissioners International. This method supports regulatory compliance and enhances understanding of drug metabolism in horses. Lehner’s research has a direct impact on veterinary medicine and anti-doping protocols, making him a key figure in equine drug testing and a valuable resource for students and researchers in analytical chemistry and veterinary pharmacology.
