Supporting Law Enforcement Around the World

In early 2020, one of India’s central forensic laboratories, Forensic Science Laboratory Delhi hosted the Forensic DNA Profiling Forum in collaboration with Promega India. The 6-day hands-on workshop shared technical expertise in the field of human identification, from sample preparation to STR analysis. More than 70 DNA investigative officers and laboratory assistants attended. Forensic Science Laboratory Delhi is a multi-disciplinary scientific organization that supports forensic crime labs in India with hi-tech DNA testing capabilities.

Promega launched the annual International Symposium on Human Identification (ISHI) more than 30 years ago. Since then, it has grown into the world’s largest conference focused on technologies, policies, and innovations in forensic DNA analysis for human identification. 2020 served as the first virtual ISHI conference with over 2,600 people participating. The meeting draws scientists, DNA analysts, law enforcement professionals, and legal and ethical experts from 40+ countries to share knowledge through interactive workshops, presentations, case studies and scientific poster sessions. Many labs and industry agencies count hours attended towards continuing education requirements. ISHI is an inclusive forum open to all practitioners and suppliers of DNA analysis for human identification. Learn more at: ishinews.com
