该部门的分析和法医毒理学研究集中在人类毒理学中心（CHT）。CHT是为犹他大学，犹他州，山间地区和全国提供分析服务，教育和研究的实验室。CHT教授是开发用于人体组织和其他生理标本中的药物和药物代谢物的最新测定方法的国际公认领导者。CHT对滥用药物进行了长期的研究，其中包括精神兴奋剂，该药物最近已扩展到增强性能的药物，并选择了环境毒物。先前在反兴奋剂领域的工作导致建立了现在独立的运动医学研究与测试实验室（SMRTL），该实验室致力于检测和解释体育比赛中增强性能的药物使用。
Analytical and forensic toxicology research in the department is concentrated in the Center for Human Toxicology (CHT). The CHT is a laboratory that provides analytical services, education, and research for the University of Utah, the state of Utah, the inter-mountain area and the nation. The CHT faculty are internationally recognized leaders in the development of state-of-the-art assays for drugs and drug metabolites in human tissues and other physiological specimens. The CHT has a long-standing research emphasis on drugs of abuse, including psychostimulants that has expanded more recently to performance enhancing drugs, and select environmental toxicants. Previous work in the anti-doping arena resulted in the establishment of the now independent Sports Medicine Research and Testing Laboratory (SMRTL) devoted to the detection and interpretation of performance-enhancing drug use in sports competition.
