This webinar focuses on the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner (NYC OCME) and how they addressed issues with non-definitive serology (body fluid) testing results by developing a confirmatory assay that uses proteins as body fluid markers.
This two-part webinar covers machine learning and forensic anthropological databases, and their casework applications. The first part of this webinar describes geoFOR, which is a free web-based collaborative application and taphonomic database that delivers a more reliable postmortem interval (PMI) for human remains. The second part of this webinar explores the Forensic Anthropology Skeletal Trauma (FAST) database, which is a searchable database comprised of images and test variables for providing objective trauma interpretation.
This webinar features the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) introducing Competitive DNA Capacity Enhancement for Backlog Reduction (CEBR) Program grantees to the overall BJA team that works collectively to administer their award funds including the BJA Policy Office and BJA Programs Office.

This interactive graphical map helps users better understand the flow of data between various agencies and the complex relationships between entities involved in medicolegal death investigations.
This white paper reviews the importance of information sharing between medicolegal death investigation (MDI) offices and organ and toxicology testing services, while also discussing collaborative efforts to improve how MDI data are exchanged and modernized.
This document provides a summary of the Supreme Court case, Smith v. Arizona, which questions the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment. Supreme Court decisions related to expert witness testimony are also examined.
This technical note outlines the utility of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with photo diode array ultraviolet spectroscopy (PDA UV) detection and single quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS) detection in a series as a complementary technique to gas chromatography-election ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-EI-MS) in seized drug analysis.
This landscape study provides medical examiners, coroners, and other medicolegal death investigation professionals an overview of computed tomography (CT) scanner technology, with postmortem applications, as well as limitations, product details, considerations for implementation, and success cases.
