Dr.
Rajeev Jain is Senior Scientist of Forensic Toxicology at Central
Forensic Science Laboratory, Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt. of India. He has
more than 10 years of research experience in the field of analytical
toxicology. During his tenure as Forensic Toxicologists, he has examined
post-mortem samples of more than 300 medico-legal cases pertaining to drug
overdose and poisoning. He has obtained his Ph.D. degree in Analytical
Toxicology from CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research (India). His
research work is focused on Development of simple, rapid, eco-friendly,
cost-effective, sensitive and selective analytical methods based on microextraction
techniques (such as SPME and DLLME etc.) for the determination of chemical
analytes for forensic toxicological, clinical and environmental importance in
various complex samples such as blood, saliva, plasma, urine, tissue etc. using
GC-MS, GC-FID, HPLC, GC-ECD, TLC-image processing and digital image colorimetry
technique. He is the first scientists to explore the possibility of coupling
liquid-liquid microextraction techniques with widely used TLC technique for
simple and quantitative analysis of drugs and poisons. He has published more
than 30 research papers, review papers and book chapters in various referred
journals on this subject. He was one of the first scientists to explore the
possibility of coupling dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction with injector
port silylation for rapid analysis of polar toxicants. He is also acting as
invited reviewer in various referred journals such as Journal of Chromatography
A, Trends in Analytical Chemistry, Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical
Analysis, PLOS ONE etc. He is one on the editorial board of various open access
journals of Toxicology and Chromatography. He has received more than 550
citations on his research work. His h-index is 14.
