About
Markus Roman is a forensic toxicologist whose work centers on the precise detection and quantification of cannabinoids in biological matrices. His primary research focuses on advancing analytical methodologies for identifying delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), its major metabolites, and structurally related compounds in whole blood—a critical area for both clinical and forensic applications. Roman’s most notable contribution is the development and validation of a robust liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, detailed in his 2022 paper "Quantification of THC, metabolites, and related compounds in whole blood using LC-MS/MS." This work provides a highly sensitive and specific protocol that improves the reliability of cannabinoid testing, addressing challenges such as matrix effects and low concentration detection. While his citation count is still growing, this foundational method has already garnered attention for its practical utility in impaired driving investigations and postmortem toxicology. Roman’s research is instrumental in bridging the gap between complex analytical chemistry and real-world forensic casework, offering a standardized approach that enhances accuracy in legal and medical contexts. His dedication to refining cannabinoid analysis positions him as an emerging expert in the field of forensic toxicology.
