LFTDI Presents Developmental Validation of NOCIt at NEAFS: LFTDI Presents Developmental Validation of NOCIt at NEAFS

Catherine Grgicak

Integrating Validated A Posteriori Probabilities on the Number of Contributors into Forensic Interpretation Pipelines for Full DNA Profile Interpretation will be presented at the 2019 NEAFS conference in Lancaster PA by Dr. Catherine M. Grgicak. Here she will summarize the developmental validation of NOCIt – a software that renders the a posteriori probability distribution on the number of contributors to complex DNA mixtures – with a large-scale forensically relevant dataset. Notably, Dr. Grgicak shall demonstrate how the APP is used to calculate a full weight-of-evidence (log likelihood ratio or LR) without the need to designate that a particular NOC explains the evidence.

Forensic Science student Shavari Fagan’s research was recently featured by the Rutgers-Camden NewsNow team. Shavari plans to research CBD vape liquid for the presence of contaminants as well as the possibility for conversion to THC. CBD is not a controlled substance but THC is which could lead to erroneous criminal charges for those that use ... Continue reading MSFS Student Shavari Fagan Featured in Rutgers-Camden NewsNow...

LFTDI Awarded NIST Grant to Develop In Silico MPS Forensic Laboratory: LFTDI Awarded NIST Grant to Develop In Silico MPS Forensic Laboratory

Catherine Grgicak

Dr. Grgicak was awarded a two-year grant from the NIST Measurement Science & Engineering Grant Program to develop an in silico NGS forensic laboratory. The goal is to develop an in silico forensic laboratory using forensically relevant next-generation sequencing data in order to test multifarious laboratory scenarios and optimize processing decisions, improving forensic validation procedures. These in silico data can also be used to train machine learning and deep learning tools that require robust and large training sets, enhancing forensic analysis and interpretation procedures.
