About
Dr. Tobias Kieliba is a forensic toxicologist whose research centers on the development and validation of advanced analytical methods for detecting drugs of abuse in biological matrices, with a particular focus on cannabinoid analysis in hair. His major contribution lies in pioneering a fully automated, robust gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) method that simultaneously quantifies THC-COOH, OH-THC, and other key cannabinoids in human hair—a technique that significantly improves sensitivity, specificity, and throughput in forensic laboratories. This work, published in 2018, has garnered 23 citations, reflecting its practical impact on distinguishing active cannabis use from passive environmental exposure. Dr. Kieliba’s research addresses a critical challenge in forensic toxicology: eliminating false positives due to external contamination. By integrating automated sample preparation, his method reduces human error and enhances reproducibility, setting a new standard for hair analysis. His achievements underscore a commitment to advancing forensic science, providing reliable tools for legal and clinical investigations.
