This year’s International Symposium on Human Identification (ISHI) brought together forensic scientists from around the world, and a few themes stood out for laboratories navigating accreditation.
Probabilistic genotyping, rapid DNA, and the growing role of quality metrics in courtroom testimony all featured prominently. For accredited labs, the message was consistent: technical capability and a rigorous quality system are inseparable.
We were glad to present and to connect with colleagues advancing the field. If you attended, we’d love to hear your takeaways.
