Stine Lund Hansen

Stine Lund Hansen is an Academic employee in the Section of Forensic Chemistry at the Department of Forensic Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Her work focuses on forensic toxicology and analytical chemistry applied to postmortem cases and drug analysis.

Dr. Hansen's research interests center on forensic toxicology with a particular emphasis on postmortem analysis. Her work explores alternative biological matrices such as cardiac blood, brain tissue, and muscle tissue for toxicological evaluation. She specializes in the analytical methods for drug detection and quantification, particularly using advanced techniques like LC-MS/MS and UHPLC-QTOF-MS. Her research contributes significantly to understanding drug distribution in different tissues and improving forensic toxicology practices.

Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on method development and validation for drug analysis in forensic contexts. The research shows a progression from basic analytical validation to practical implementation of new methods in routine forensic workflows. Key themes include the analysis of cannabinoids in drug-impaired driving cases, comparison of different biological matrices for postmortem toxicology, and the development of validated methods for drug quantification in various tissue types.

Dr. Hansen collaborates extensively with other researchers in the Section of Forensic Chemistry, particularly with M. K. K. Nielsen, K. Linnet, and B. S. Rasmussen. Her work has practical applications in forensic investigations and contributes to evidence-based practices in forensic toxicology.
