Annual Postdoctoral Science Symposium Abstracts

The mission of the Annual Postdoctoral Science Symposium (APSS) is to provide a platform for talented postdoctoral fellows throughout the Texas Medical Center to present their work to a wider audience. The MD Anderson Postdoctoral Association convened its inaugural Annual Postdoctoral Science Symposium (APSS) on August 4, 2011.

The APSS provides a professional venue for postdoctoral scientists to develop, clarify, and refine their research as a result of formal reviews and critiques of faculty and other postdoctoral scientists. Additionally, attendees discuss current research on a broad range of subjects while promoting academic interactions and enrichment and developing new collaborations.

Development Of Dna Methylation Markers To Infer Age, Smoking Status And Body Fluid Types For Forensic Application, Hussain J.H. Alghanim

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In forensic investigations, biological evidences have great potential to place a suspect at the scene of a crime. However, in many cases suspect(s) usually can’t be identified with any local or national databases. In such challenging cases, police need a tool that can provide investigative leads. Thus, different genetic biomarkers including DNA methylation markers have been developed for different phenotypic traits to serve as source of intelligence information to investigators in cases of unknown DNA profiles. In this project, novel sets of DNA methylation markers were developed for the forensic estimation of human age, determining the smoking status and body …
