About
Carolina Noble is a leading forensic toxicologist whose work has been pivotal in addressing the opioid crisis through advanced analytical chemistry. Her primary research focuses on the detection and characterization of novel synthetic opioids, particularly fentanyl analogues, in biological and forensic samples. Noble’s major contribution lies in developing a targeted screening method using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS) with data-independent acquisition, enabling the simultaneous detection of 50 fentanyl-related compounds. This method, detailed in her highly cited 2017 paper (70 citations), has become a critical tool for forensic laboratories, allowing rapid and sensitive identification of emerging drug threats in authentic blood samples. Her work directly supports public health and law enforcement efforts by improving overdose death investigations and drug monitoring. Noble’s innovative approach to mass spectrometry and her dedication to addressing the evolving landscape of synthetic drugs mark her as a key figure in modern forensic science, with lasting impact on analytical toxicology and drug policy.
