About
Stine Lund Hansen is a forensic toxicologist whose work addresses critical gaps in postmortem drug analysis. Her primary research focuses on developing and validating alternative matrices for toxicological screening, particularly when conventional blood samples are unavailable. Her most cited study, published in 2021, introduced a validated UHPLC–MS/MS method for quantifying 29 drugs in both postmortem blood and muscle tissue. This work is pivotal for forensic casework, as it provides a reliable, routine-compatible protocol for using muscle tissue—a matrix that resists decomposition and is often more accessible than blood in compromised remains. With 22 citations, this paper has already influenced forensic laboratories seeking robust alternatives to whole blood analysis. Hansen’s contributions extend beyond method validation; she emphasizes practical implementation, ensuring that her techniques integrate seamlessly into existing workflows. Her research strengthens the reliability of toxicological findings in challenging postmortem scenarios, directly supporting medicolegal death investigations. For students and researchers in forensic science, Hansen’s work exemplifies how methodical innovation can solve real-world evidentiary problems, making her a key figure in advancing postmortem toxicology.
