About this Event
Join Noemi Procopio, Senior Research Fellow in Forensic Science, for a fascinating talk about research taking place at the University of Central Lancashire that is being used in real-world forensics cases.
Explore how cutting-edge molecular analysis (Forens-OMICS) can be used in forensics cases to help identify vital information, like the time of death.
How long a body has been dead is surprisingly difficult to pin down. It could just be a skeleton, and even if it is a full body, very cold or very hot temperatures can affect how quickly skin and muscle break down.
Discover how things as small as DNA, proteins, and microbes can be a big help in solving real-world crimes.
Perfect for crime enthusiasts, science lovers, and anyone curious about how science helps to bring justice to light!
Our free public talks are held each month to ignite discussion and share interesting ideas and knowledge with everyone. Whether you’re a student, professional, or simply a curious person, our talks are designed to be accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
