The students should be appropriately prepared in topics such as chemistry and genetics.

The main topic of the course deals with the knowledge of the theory and lab bases useful for the correct implementation of forensic toxicological and genetic analyses dealing with the search of volatile and non-volatile organic compounds in biological samples and with the genetic characterisation of biological stains and paternity testing samples

The course is aimed to describe the forensic toxicological and genetic lab approaches.
At the end of the class, students shall prove to be able to deal with the forensic toxicological analyses according to sensitivity, selectivity, accuracy and precision. Different extraction/purification procedures will be described as well as the qualitative-quantitative analyses of volatile and non volatile organic compounds in biological samples.
Students will prove to be able to describe the methodological approaches used in forensic genetic analyses for a correct interpretation of DNA identification casework and paternity or kinship cases.
