LFTDI M.S. Students Present Their Thesis Research

OPEN FORUM: SCI 114 (Chemistry Conference Room).

On Thursday April 25th at 3pm, come see Amanda present her work on: DEVELOPING A FORENSICALLY RELEVANT SINGLE-CELL INTERPRETATION STRATEGY FOR HUMAN IDENTIFICATION.
In this work Amanda demonstrates that single-cell signal is fundamentally different than signal acquired from bulk-processing, signifying new interpretation constructs are needed for forensically relevant single-cell signal.

On Monday April 29th at 5pm, come see Laura present her work on: STABILIZING INFORMATION CONTENT IN DNA EVIDENCE FOR IMPROVED LAB-TO-LAB INFERENCE
Laura shows that the information content in forensic electropherograms (EPGs) can drastically be improved by applying a simulation-experimental based approach. She then applies these improved post-PCR laboratory parameters to  optimize the pre-PCR process.
