EP 99 | Nicole Novroski | Decoding DNA
Description
Join us for episode #99 of Forensics Talks on March 14 at 2 PM Eastern, as we delve into the forefront of forensic biology with Dr. Nicole Novroski from the University of Toronto, Mississauga. Dr. Novroski, specializes in leveraging massively parallel sequencing (MPS) alongside innovative approaches for forensic human identity testing. This episode will explore her work on unearthing previously uncharacterized genetic markers for enhanced DNA mixture de-convolution and her research in identifying distant relatives through benchtop-scale sequencing. Dr. Novroski's current endeavors also include the exploration of computational biology for forensic genetic data analysis, microbial forensics, and advanced DNA methodologies for missing persons and unidentified human remains investigations. Tune in as we uncover the intricacies of DNA sequencing and its profound implications for forensic science, public safety, and beyond!
