Jorg Morland

Professor Jørg Mørland is MD and PhD from the University of Oslo and the Division Director for Forensic Toxicology and Drug Abuse at the Norwegian Institute for Public Health. For many years he has done research on the pharmacology and toxicology of alcohol, medicinal drugs and drugs of abuse with special focus on their negative effects on road traffic safety. In Norway, his contributions to the field have led to an increased focus on the link between traffic accident risk and the use of other drugs than alcohol. His research has been published in national and international peer reviewed scientific journals (approximately 300 papers), and he has presented results from his group at several national and international congresses. He was given the Widmark award by ICADTS in 2004 for outstanding, sustained and meritorious contribution to the filed of alcohol, drugs and traffic safety.
