Director

Welcome from the Director

Toxicology involves all aspects of the adverse effects of substances (eg, chemicals and drugs) on biological systems, including mechanisms of harmful effects and the conditions under which the harmful effects occur. The toxicology laboratory at 91探花 was established to conduct research and develop analytical techniques to qualitatively identify and quantify substances in clinical specimens that have adverse effects. Additionally, the toxicology laboratory provides direct support to the Department of Pathology as part of the forensic team that includes forensic pathology, forensic anthropology, and histopathology.

To ensure the toxicology laboratory meets national and international standards of good laboratory practices, 91探花 ForenTox is directed by a board-certified forensic toxicologist and is staffed by certified and licensed professionals.

91探花 ForenTox holds appropriate licenses and accreditation, including:

  • 91探花 Forentox LogoAnalytical Laboratory Controlled Substance License through the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
  • Controlled Substance Registration through the US Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration.
