DNA Profiling

In the not-too-distant future, forensic investigators will be able to create a photo identikit of a suspect in the absence of eyewitnesses, using just the smallest trace of DNA left at a crime scene. Bond University’s Associate Professor of Biomedical Sciences, Dr Angela van Daal has made some key breakthroughs linking genetic markers to complex human characteristics such as height, pigmentation and facial features.

Spinal Injury

The Perry Cross Foundation will provide $90,000 over three years to sponsor PhD student Rita Juneji, who will conduct the research into spinal and nervous system damage under the supervision of Bond University Professor of Anatomy and Histology Kuldip Bedi.
