At the 30th International Society of Forensic Genetics (ISFG) Congress held in Spain this year, our General Coordinator Sümeyye Zülal Şimşek presented her study titled "Determination of Human Facial Morphology: Eye and Forehead Structure", compiled from her doctoral study under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gönül Filoğlu TÜFEK at the Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Institute of Forensic Medicine and Forensic Sciences.
In addition to traditional genetic identification studies in forensic sciences, phenotyping from DNA has a very important place today with current technology and research. As a result of various studies, hair and eye color estimations can be made from DNA samples with a 95% accuracy rate. In addition, the determination of morphological facial features will allow DNA to be used as a robot image.
This study aims to provide a unique benefit in forensic applications, especially in cases where the appearance cannot be determined. This research, which was conducted for the first time in our country, attracted great attention from the international scientific community. It was a great opportunity to come together with world-class experts at one of the most prestigious conferences in the field.
As Genetiks GLOBAL, we are very excited to support these pioneering studies that shape the future!
