The National Institute of Justice (NIJ)'s Science and Technology Division has been instrumental in a number of areas with grants that have advanced the science of DNA profiling and supported research into less-than-lethal devices. Forensic science has been an area of particular interest, with ...
GALILEO famously declared that “science proceeds more by what it has learned to ignore than by what it takes into account”. As DNA consultant for the defence in the Amanda Knox case, I was constantly reminded of the pertinence of this observation during her legal battle in Italy...
In parallel, novel techniques to identify wood species (automated wood identification, chemical biomarkers, DNA barcoding) and their application on historical and ancient wood are being explored, given that this could sometimes help narrow down the timber source area. Modern technology is playing a ...
In addition to the 17,520 forensic science technicians currently working nationwide, there are expected opportunities in related occupations such as medical examining, anthropology, handwriting analysis, latent evidence processing, toxicology, odontology, engineering sciences, psychiatry, DNA analysis, forensic...

At this point, you can also choose to specialise in either forensic or analytical science. You further specialise in specific techniques or areas in the fifth year, such as toxicology, DNA analysis and atomic or nuclear spectroscopy, in which you will carry out a research project ...
SPR, and SERS based detection. Important advances in sensing molecules such as aptamers, antibodies, nanomaterials and small molecular ligands are also covered. Application fields will be mainly for biomedical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, food safety and forensic science. We hope to put together...
We thank the participants who donated their time, life experiences and DNA to this research and the clinical and scientific teams that worked with them. We are deeply indebted to the investigators who make up the PGC. The PGC has received major funding from the US National Institute of Mental...
