WILLIAM L. JENKINS FORENSIC CENTER



The ETSU Toxicology Laboratory is located within the William L. Jenkins Forensic Center, Magnolia and Fifth Street, Building 6, Mountain Home, TN 37684.  We perform toxicology assays for over 250 autopsy cases each year. The Toxicology Laboratory has published several articles in collaboration with the Assistant State Medical Examiner and other forensic scientists. These articles have covered specific drug overdoses, interactions, and novel analytical techniques as applied to forensic cases.
