Chemical modulators and molecular mechanisms

Chemical modulators and molecular mechanisms in tissue
preservation enhancement: (1) complications associated with
traditional embalming techniques (2) photochemical interventions
mediating the removal of jaundice and other biochemical
postmortem stain in cadavers (3) alternative skin closure
techniques and (4) evaluation of fundamental tissue processes in
embalming protocols by laser based microscopy.

Forensic Investigation Analysis

Forensic Investigation Analysis: (1) analytical forensic entomology
(2) analysis of drug degradation products by microorganisms in
ante- and postmortem states (3) postmortem drug analysis in
embalmed cadaver tissue (4) application of novel laser based and
confocal microscopic technology to bite mark authentication
analysis and (5) novel instrumental strategies in forensic toxicology.

Application of high resolution chromatographic techniques to
problems involved with clinical, forensic, pharmaceutical and
toxicological analysis. 

Medicolegal and pharmaceutical applications of hyphenated gas
chromatography / mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography /
mass spectrometry.

Forensic applications of hyphenated analytical technology.

Epoxidation reactions: Synthesis of epoxide and vicinal diol
