About
Hilke Andresen‐Streichert is a leading figure in forensic toxicology, with a specialized focus on the analysis of cannabinoids in biological matrices. Her research is centered on developing and validating highly sensitive and specific methods for detecting drugs of abuse, particularly cannabis, in hair and other alternative specimens. A major contribution is her work on the simultaneous quantification of THC-COOH, OH-THC, and other cannabinoids in human hair using gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) with automated sample preparation. This method, detailed in her highly cited 2018 paper (23 citations), directly addresses the critical forensic challenge of distinguishing active cannabis consumption from external contamination, a key issue in workplace and criminal justice settings. Her rigorous approach to analytical chemistry has provided the field with a robust tool for more accurate interpretation of hair test results. Through her method development, Andresen‐Streichert has significantly advanced the reliability of forensic drug testing, making her work essential reading for any researcher or student working in hair analysis and drug metabolism.
