Specialisation
Forensic research - (bio)chemical analysis of fingermarks and other biological traces
Focus of research

Develop techniques that aid in the detection, analysis and identification of components present in fingermarks and other biological traces using techniques including immunolabeling and fluorescence spectroscopy.

The chemical composition of fingermarks contains a wealth of information that can be used during the crime scene investigation to obtain additional information from the donor of the fingermark.
