Better science, better justice

The Institute provides specialist forensic scientific, medical, and managerial consultancy, expert witness services, and training in civil or criminal investigations and legal proceedings.

In addition to our core scientific staff, an extensive network of experts provide the expanding knowledge upon which The Institute is founded. A group of distinguished experts form the College of The Forensic Institute.

One of our most important cases was the Omagh Bomb trial in which our Director, Professor Jamieson, gave key defence evidence challenging the validity of LCN DNA. This had massive repercussions for the use of LCN across the world.

The transcript of that judgement, which temporarily halted LCN work in the UK, is here. A review of the science was produced by the Home Office Forensic Science Regulator. Our response to that review is here.
