July 24th, 2008 Filed Under Conference, Crime Lab, DNA
Here is the plug: Forensic Bioinformatics is holding its expert forum on the science of DNA profiling on August 15 through 17. This will be our seventh annual meeting in Dayton and I think you will agree that the program is one of our best ever.We have always been fortunate in being able to get prominent experts to share their insights and learn from each other at this meeting and this year is not an exception. Notable speakers for this year’s forum include: Simon Ford; Christine Funk; Keith Inman; Roger Koppl; Larry Mueller; Gabe Oberfield; D. Michael Risinger; Tania Simoncelli; and Bill Thompson.Last year’s introductory parallel session run by Christine Funk on the first day of the forum was so successful that we have decided to build the whole first day of this year’s meeting (Friday, August 15) around it. This set of presentations for less experienced attorneys with cameo appearances from world-renowned experts is intended to bring relative new-comers to the field up to speed on the technical aspects of DNA profiling so they can appreciate the cutting edge discussions about DNA databases and statistical issues associated with DNA test results on the days that follow.This year we are again offering the opportunity to generate your own DNA profile (from DNA extraction to statistical interpretation) during the day of Thursday, August 14. Keith Inman from Forensic Analytical will be running this special workshop using Wright State University facilities for the first ten conference attendees who express an interest in this $200 course.Early registration ($295) for this year’s expert forum runs through August 1 and represents a $130 savings over the full registration cost. Groups of four or more can obtain a 20% discount and a limited number of scholarships are still available upon request.As always, much more information about the speakers, their talks and the meeting in general (including registration forms and hotel information) are available at the Forensic Bioinformatics web site (www.bioforensics.com).
