Degraded DNA Recovery and Low-Copy Number Analysis
Interns will develop and validate techniques for recovering mtDNA from highly degraded or challenging forensic samples where nuclear DNA is unavailable. They will optimize sensitivity thresholds and evaluate the reliability of results from low-copy number mtDNA evidence in criminal investigations.
Forensic Mitochondrial DNA Analysis ResearchView internship →
DNA Recovery Optimization from Biological Evidence
Interns will investigate advanced extraction techniques for DNA recovery from sexual assault evidence samples, including degraded biological materials and mixed DNA profiles. Research will focus on optimizing protocols for low-quantity samples and comparing the efficacy of different extraction methodologies used in forensic laboratories.
Forensic Sexual Assault Evidence Collection ResearchView internship →
Chain of Custody Documentation and Standardization
Interns will analyze current chain of custody protocols in sexual assault evidence handling and develop standardized documentation frameworks to minimize evidence contamination and legal challenges. This research will involve auditing existing procedures across laboratories and proposing improvements to maintain evidence integrity.
Forensic Sexual Assault Evidence Collection ResearchView internship →
Biological Marker Analysis and Interpretation
Interns will study the identification and analysis of biological markers present in sexual assault evidence, including saliva, semen, and vaginal fluid detection methods. Research will encompass serological and immunological techniques, as well as evaluation of marker reliability in establishing contact evidence.
Forensic Sexual Assault Evidence Collection ResearchView internship →
Trauma-Informed Evidence Collection Protocols
Interns will research best practices in evidence collection procedures that minimize secondary trauma to survivors while maintaining forensic integrity and evidentiary value. This includes studying the relationship between collection methodology, survivor outcomes, and admissibility standards in legal proceedings.
Forensic Sexual Assault Evidence Collection ResearchView internship →
Contamination Prevention and Detection Methods
Interns will investigate contamination sources and prevention strategies in sexual assault evidence collection and processing, including environmental contamination, cross-contamination between samples, and handler contamination. Research will evaluate quality assurance protocols and detection technologies to ensure sample integrity throughout the forensic pipeline.
Forensic Sexual Assault Evidence Collection ResearchView internship →
Chromatographic Analysis of Drugs in Biological Samples
Interns will develop and optimize high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods for detecting controlled substances, prescription medications, and their metabolites in blood, urine, and saliva samples. They will gain hands-on experience with instrument calibration, method validation, and quality assurance protocols used in forensic toxicology laboratories.
Forensic Toxin Detection in Biological Matrices ResearchView internship →
Immunoassay Screening Techniques and Interpretation
This focus area involves conducting enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT) to screen biological matrices for common toxins including alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants. Interns will learn statistical analysis of results, troubleshooting false positives and negatives, and proper documentation for forensic evidence.
Forensic Toxin Detection in Biological Matrices ResearchView internship →
Post-Mortem Toxicology and Specimen Collection Protocols
Interns will study the complexities of toxin analysis in deceased individuals, including specimen degradation, bacterial contamination effects, and redistribution of substances post-mortem. They will develop protocols for proper collection, preservation, and analysis of biological specimens in death investigation cases while maintaining chain of custody procedures.
Forensic Toxin Detection in Biological Matrices ResearchView internship →
Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) Detection and Characterization
This area focuses on identifying and characterizing emerging synthetic drugs and novel psychoactive substances using advanced analytical techniques including mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Interns will contribute to research on detection methods for designer drugs that continuously evolve to circumvent legal restrictions.
Forensic Toxin Detection in Biological Matrices ResearchView internship →
Trace Metal and Inorganic Toxin Analysis
Interns will utilize inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) to detect and quantify toxic inorganic elements such as heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury) in biological matrices. This work is essential for poisoning investigations and understanding environmental exposure in forensic cases.
Forensic Toxin Detection in Biological Matrices ResearchView internship →
Algor Mortis Temperature Mapping and Modeling
Interns will develop and validate mathematical models for body temperature decline post-mortem using experimental data collection and computational analysis. This research involves creating temperature decay curves under various environmental conditions and testing their applicability across different body compositions and ambient temperatures.
