Welcome to our virtual poster session! The Forensic Technology Center of Excellence (FTCoE) would like to highlight student research in the forensic sciences! The FTCoE is grateful for all the universities, faculty, and students who took the time to prepare poster presentations for submission to this year’s event. We recognize your hard work, and we are here to celebrate and learn from your research.

This webinar was presented by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on September 22, 2020.

This webinar will provide an overview of what kinship analysis programs are currently in use and will provide an in-depth analysis of how population-based allele frequency databases impact sibship determination.

This webinar was presented by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on March 21, 2018.

New DNA analysis kits used in kinship testing may contain loci that are potentially linked. This project will examine if three pairs of exhibit linkage and explore possible solutions for using these loci more appropriately in kinship testing.

The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate has tested Rapid DNA at mass fatality incident response exercises since 2015. This was done to determine the technology’s ability and usefulness in identifying victims of mass disasters. This webinar will review the successes and challenges from those exercises as well as discuss Rapid DNA’s most recent role in identifying victims of the 2018 Camp Fire in Butte County, CA.

This webinar was presented by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on May 2, 2019.
