    International Society for Applied Biological Sciences th ISABS Conference on Forensic and Anthropologic Genetics and Mayo Clinic Lectures in Individualized Medicine Hotel Dubrovnik Palace / Dubrovnik, June 19-24, 2017 www.isabs.hr th Dear Colleague, Please join us at the Tenth International Society for Applied Biological Sciences (ISABS) Conference on Forensic and Anthropologic Genetics and Mayo Clinic Lectures in Individualized Medicine, Dubrovnik, Croatia, June 19-24, 2017. This jubilee event commemorates the twentieth anniversary of our conference series. The idea for the conference was conceived out of necessity to bring to Croatia and broader region insights into the rapidly developing genetic techniques to forensic and clinical applications. The impact of the conferences and the resulting professional ties on applied genetics in the region has been substantive. It affected numerous research and educational efforts being crowned in 2009 with the opening of the Center for Forensic Sciences at the University of Split, currently the only institution that offers the specialized graduate program in the region. In addition, ISABS, our parent society, and the American Academy of Forensic Sciences agreed recently to forge scientific and academic ties to provide even more opportunities and access for the budding scientists. As genetic technology in forensics overlaps with genetic anthropology, for the past decade we have included anthropologic sessions into the program. At the same time, Mayo Clinic joined the effort. It provided the critical link into the cutting-edge clinical applications of genetics. The overall effort culminated in the incorporation of individualized medicine as the third cornerstone, together with forensic and anthropologic genetics, of our programs.

  • Criminal Justice, False Certainty, and the Second Generation of Scientific Evidence
    The New Forensics: Criminal Justice, False Certainty, and the Second Generation of Scientific Evidence Erin Murphyt Accounts of powerful new forensic technologies such as DNA typing, data mining, biometric scanning, and electronic location tracking fill the daily news. Proponentspraise these techniques for helping to exonerate those wrongly accused, and for exposing the failings of a criminaljustice system thatpreviously relied too readily upon faulty forensic evidence like handwriting, ballistics, and hair and fiber analysis. Advocates applaud the introduction of a "new paradigm" for forensic evidence, and proclaim that these new techniques will revolutionize how the government investigates and tries criminal cases. While the new forensic sciences undoubtedly offer an unprecedented degree of certainty and reliability, these characteristicsalone do not necessarily render them less susceptible to misuse. In fact, as this Article argues, the most lauded attributes of these new forms of forensic evidence may actually exacerbate the Copyright © 2007 California Law Review, Inc.
