About
Anders Just Pedersen is a leading figure in forensic toxicology, whose work has fundamentally advanced the detection of drugs in biological matrices. His research centers on developing high-throughput, comprehensive analytical methods for whole blood screening, with a particular focus on the simultaneous identification of both illicit and medicinal drugs. Pedersen’s major contribution lies in pioneering the use of fully automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-TOF-MS) with data-independent acquisition. His landmark 2013 paper, which has garnered 78 citations, introduced a robust, validated method capable of screening for 256 analytes in a single, automated run—a transformative step for forensic laboratories seeking efficiency and breadth. This work established a new standard for broad-spectrum toxicological analysis, enabling faster, more reliable results in clinical and forensic settings. Pedersen’s innovations have significantly reduced manual labor and error, enhancing the capacity for routine drug monitoring and postmortem investigations. His contributions continue to shape modern forensic toxicology, providing a scalable framework for detecting emerging psychoactive substances and improving public health and safety outcomes.
