From Primates To Crime Scenes: How Genetic Research Advances Forensic Science

  • Summary

  • How does primate genetic research tie into forensic science? How is collecting blood, saliva, and hair at crime scenes used for DNA typing? Professor Sreetharan Kanthaswamy, an expert in biomedicine, genetics, and forensics, joins the Good Question Podcast to share his insights. Sreetharan is a professor in the School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences at Arizona State University's West campus. He is also a Research Geneticist at the California National Primate Research Center, University of California, Davis. His unique perspective, spanning both primate genetics and forensic science, allows him to cover everything from primates living in the wild to the complex world of DNA typing… In this episode, we dive into: How studying wildlife can shed light on human social structures. Fascinating facts about the behavioral patterns of orangutans. What genetic markers can indicate the origins of species. Ready to learn how Sreetharan applies his population, forensic, and conservation genetics knowledge for the greater good? Tune in now!
