In this edition, we turn our gaze to Forensic Biotechnology—the sharp end of science where test tubes meet testimony and genomes go on the record. It's the field where a single strand of hair can whisper the truth, and a drop of blood may just out-argue a defense attorney.
As biotech tools grow more precise and powerful, they’re not just aiding investigations—they’re rewriting them. From crime scenes to courtrooms, biology has become the ultimate expert witness: unflinching, data-driven, and notoriously hard to cross-examine.
We examine the tools, breakthroughs, and ethical questions driving this molecular approach to justice—where facts are in the biology, not the testimony.
