Crack the Forensic Puzzle Using Fluid Mechanics

Abstract

Pawar Dugba

To assist the observation of chronic drug usage among originators, a team of specialists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has come up with a different alternative. Three novel urine biomarkers have been identified by the team, led by a professor from the NUS Department of Pharmacy, that could be used to detect use of the growing synthetic cannabinoid ADB-BUTINACA, a new psychoactive chemical (NPS). It is possible to discriminate between other natural and synthetic cannabinoids using the same ground-breaking technology.
