What is the impact of biotechnology development on forensic science? What is the role of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in the forensic science? What is the biggest stumbling block to the progress of forensic science except regime and fund? Dr. Karl Reich, a well-known American scientist, came to Taiwan in early May. He leads an independent criminal identification science laboratory in the U.S. In addition to the identification analysis, he also engages in the research and development, and his products and services have been sold to Europe, Asia, the U.S., and Russia. Arranged by Kim Forest Enterprise Co., GeneOnline is pleased to interview Dr. Reich to talk about the role of molecular biology in the field of forensic science, the latest technological advances and its challenges.
