Gudrun Høiseth

Gudrun Høiseth is a Researcher at the Norwegian Centre for Addiction Research (NIDA), University of Oslo. Her work focuses on forensic toxicology, clinical pharmacology, and addiction medicine. She specializes in drug metabolism, biomarker analysis, and the pharmacokinetics of substances like opioids, benzodiazepines, and alcohol. Her research addresses real-world clinical challenges, such as optimizing drug dosing for psychiatric patients and analyzing forensic evidence of drug impairment in drivers.

Key areas of research include:

• Forensic analysis of postmortem drug concentrations
• Clinical implications of antipsychotic and opioid pharmacokinetics
• Development of biomarkers for alcohol and substance use
• Impact of demographic and genetic factors on drug metabolism

Høiseth has contributed to over 100 peer-reviewed articles, focusing on topics such as:

• Postmortem drug formation mechanisms
• Age-related differences in antipsychotic serum levels
• Forensic evaluation of drug impairment in traffic incidents

Her studies often involve large datasets and multidisciplinary collaborations, advancing both clinical practice and forensic science.
