Simon D. Brandt is a Professor of Forensic Chemistry. His research activities and interests focus on the chemistry, analytical and pharmacological properties of psychoactive substances, "legal highs", drugs of abuse and so-called designer drugs, within the context of (psycho)pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, psychiatry, forensic science and public health. He is also interested in the development of new chemical entities with psychoactive properties - including psychedelics and empathogens - used in clinical and preclinical studies.

He obtained a Diploma in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology (1999) with further specialisation in cell structures and pharmacology/toxicology at the University of Hamburg (Germany). He holds a PhD in Analytical Chemistry (2004) from The University of Manchester (formerly UMIST) (United Kingdom). He serves as an Associate Editor of the Wiley journal “Drug Testing and Analysis”. Between 2011 and 2020, and in collaboration with LJMU’s Public Health Institute, Simon served as a coordinator of the UK Early-Warning System on New Psychoactive Substances run by Public Health England.

Simon serves as a scientific advisor in questions related to risk assessment and scheduling recommendations associated with new psychoactive substances. He is an extended Member of the Scientific Committee of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) and served as an expert technical advisor to the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD). In June 2016, Simon was awarded the LJMU Impact Award 2016 for his contributions made to the fields of international drugs legislation and policy making. Simon has also been appointed as a member of the Expert Committee that advises the German Federal Government and the Ministry of Health on questions related to drug control within the framework of the German Narcotics Law (Betäubungsmittelgesetz (BtMG)) and New Psychoactive Substances Act (NpSG).

A book entitled "New Psychoactive Substances: Pharmacology, Clinical, Forensic and Analytical Toxicology" (edited by Hans H. Maurer and Simon D. Brandt) was published as part of the "Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology" (volume 252) book series produced by Springer.
