The aim of studying and bibliography

The main aim of study: Students are introduced to general concepts of biochemistry in forensic sciences. Lectures include: knowledge about structures of harmful biological and synthetic compounds, metabolism of mentioned compounds, methods of their analysis and quantification. Traditional and modern methods of detection of various harmful compounds will be discussed. Compounds of interest will include illegal drugs, designer's drugs, toxins etc. Part of lectures will be dedicated for learning of methods of interpretation of analytical results including NMR, MS, and FTIR spectra. Practical part will include real-life results from analytical equipment. Basics of NMR, MS and FTIR methods will be taught. Mentioned laboratories will be designed for students without knowledge regarding these methods.
