About the Microbial Forensics Course
Microbial Forensics is an emerging field at the intersection of microbiology and forensic science. This program explores how microbiological data can be used to identify the sources of bioterrorism attacks, track the spread of infectious diseases, and analyze the genetic and microbial evidence involved in outbreaks.
Participants will gain a solid understanding of microbial identification techniques, pathogen tracking, and biosecurity measures, with hands-on experience in analyzing microbial samples from biocrime and outbreak scenarios. The program will also cover the global legal and ethical frameworks associated with microbial forensics. By working on case studies of real bioterrorism incidents and disease outbreaks, participants will learn how to use microbial data to assist in criminal investigations and public health responses, ensuring they are prepared to play key roles in biosecurity and disease tracking.
