The objective of these workshops is to provide high quality hands-on training in the area of population genetics, advanced topics in DNA typing and non-human DNA typing to forensic science practitioners that work in the state and local public forensic laboratories. The training will be provided at no charge to the participants.
Academic credits from the workshop can be applied toward an on-line Master’s degree or certificate program in forensic science, forensic serology and DNA typing.
The following workshops will be provided:
1) Population Genetics (Intermediate and Advanced level) and
2) Advanced DNA Typing (Beginners and Intermediate)
3) Non-human DNA Typing (Beginners and Intermediate)
Attendees can apply for one, two, or all of the workshops, depending on their specific interests and skill levels.
Program Description
Each workshop will be offered for one week, during which there will be lectures and hands-on laboratory-based experiences held at both the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Forensic DNA Profiling Facility.
