Show Notes
Toxicology deciphers death like nothing else. Results determine time of death, location, and method. But, how does it work?
Delving into the dark secrets of poisons, toxicology is the ultimate detective. Toxicologists like Dr Dimitri Gerostamoulos analyse hidden clues within biological samples, and help solve cases like murder investigations, unexplained deaths and drug overdoses. Toxicology acts as a window into crime both in time, and space.
Dr Dimitri Gerostamoulos is the Head of Forensic Science and Chief Toxicologist at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine. Talking to host Kathryn Fox, Dimitri explains how toxicology works in an Australian context, and goes back to why he entered the world of forensics, and explores cases that have affected him and stayed with him throughout his career.
