UF Forensic Science at Upcoming Conferences

Fall Annual Meetings

The UF Forensic Science Program is visiting two conferences this fall. We hope to meet forensic professionals who may be interested in learning about the award winning UF Forensic Science Online Programs. We also hope to meet up with some of our students who live across the U.S.

The 18th International Symposium on Human Identification

October 1- 4, 2007

Sponsored by Promega, the meeting is being held in Hollywood, CA at The Renaissance Hollywood Hotel.

Changing technologies, legislation and social issues continue to influence the field of human identification. Promega is sponsoring the International Symposium on Human Identification to facilitate the dissemination of information that impacts the forensic community.

This year’s symposium features:
- A keynote address by Sir Alec Jeffreys
- Presentations on the latest technologies in DNA typing
