Thematik

These days the importance of laboratory and molecular biology methods is obvious in the field of forensic medicine. These methods are used in the examination of different body fluids (blood, saliva, vaginal secretum). During the course we will discuss in details the methods used to analyze DNA (identifications, paternity testing): the significance of analyses of STRs, SNPs, and mitochodrial DNA. Besides the basic DNA methods we talk about new scientific approaches which are based on RNA and protein analyses (determination of course and time of death).
