Jared Castle’s research focuses on the stability of drugs in post-mortem specimens, with particular emphasis on the involvement of microorganisms in drug degradation. An understanding of the stability of drugs in these specimens is important intelligence for those involved in death investigations. This is a multi-institutionary project with collaboration between Flinders University, Forensic Science SA, and CSIRO. Jared’s supervisors are Professor Paul Kirkbride, Professor Claire Lenehan, Associate Professor Stewart Walker, Dr Danielle Butzbach, and Dr Frank Reith.
