Evolve was delighted to welcome two leading business partners to Malta for the 24th edition of the European Forensic DNA Working Group conference.
US-based Promega, which provides solutions for forensic labs in the analysis of DNA samples, and Forensic Access, one of the top forensic science companies in the UK, were among the participants at the three-day seminar in St Julian’s.
Members of the Evolve team and a number of our customers also attended the event, including forensic scientists from the Malta Police, experts from the University of Malta and staff from the Forensic Pathology Department at Malta’s Mater Dei Hospital.
The meeting provided attendees with an opportunity to network with colleagues in the DNA forensics community as well as learning about the latest technology in the forensic market, including DNA isolation, quantification, DNA profiling for criminal cases and other types of forensic uses.
The seminar, which was addressed by some of the world’s leading forensics experts, also covered areas such as DNA analysis, quality control, databases, automation and expert systems.
Forensic DNA analysis has played a crucial role in the investigation and resolution of thousands of crimes since the late 1980s.
Chief Visionary Officer Christopher Busuttil Delbridge said the event served as a good opportunity to catch up in-person with some of Evolve‘s customers and partners and well as establishing new connections.
He added: ‘Nothing beats a real get-together. The conference programme brought the DNA laboratory of tomorrow to life and allowed us to exchange know-how, experience and ideas.’
