Dr. Justin Brower

Justin Brower, Ph.D. is a Forensic Toxicologist and earned his Ph.D. in organic chemistry at the University of Nevada and followed it with a fellowship from the Cancer Research Institute at the University of California, Irvine. After a short stint in the pharmaceutical industry, where he discovered and developed drugs for CNS disorders, he joined the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner where he certified postmortem toxicology reports and developed LC-MS/MS assays for routine and non-routine analysis, as well as targeted Orbitrap LC-MS/MS screening assays. 

Thirteen years later, he joined NMS Labs where he certifies a wider range of toxicology reports and supports a much larger laboratory in identifying and detecting drugs, toxins, and poisons. Outside of work, his toxicological interests lie in natural poisons, toxins, and venoms, and the science and history behind them.
