LABORATORY PERSPECTIVE

Method-aware review begins with the evidence.

These laboratory portraits of Okorie Okorocha illustrate three connected parts of forensic toxicology review: examining scientific literature and analytical data, evaluating the specimen, and applying pharmacology to the interpretation.

START WITH THE RIGHT QUESTION

A result is one part of an evidence chain.

Forensic toxicology connects biological specimens, analytical chemistry, quality practices, and pharmacology. These guides explain what each part can show, what it cannot show alone, and what records support a reliable interpretation.
