SUMMARY:Microbial Forensics from Bioterrorism and Biocrime to Human Identification
DESCRIPTION:The ANZFSS Queensland Branch is pleased to welcome back Professor Bruce Budowle to present our August seminar. \nBioterrorism and biocrime have been committed by humans for more than two millennia. The field of microbial forensics was developed in response to the anthrax letters attack in 2001 to analyze evidence associated with acts of bioterrorism and biological crimes in which microbes or their toxins are used as weapons with attribution as the ultimate goal. Attribution of microbial evidence is to determine an associated source and perpetrator or group of individuals to the highest degree possible. Microbial forensics combines the practices of epidemiology with the characterization of microbial and microbial-related evidence to assist in determining the specific source of the sample\, as individualizing as possible\, and/or the methods\, means\, processes and locations involved to determine the identity of the perpetrator(s) of an attack. There is a wide variety of microbial species or strains that could serve as possible biothreats (human\, plant\, and animal pathogens). Molecular biology techniques\, such as massively parallel sequencing\, are suited to meet the challenges of characterization and attribution. The field has progressed to include human identification and postmortem interval. \nFeatured Speaker: Professor Bruce Budowle\nDr. Budowle worked at the FBI’s Laboratory Division for 26 years and at Center for Human Identification at the University of North Texas Health Science Center for 13 years. He has published more than 750 articles and testified in well over 300 criminal cases in the areas of molecular biology\, population genetics\, statistics\, quality assurance\, and forensic biology. He continues research and work in the areas of forensic genomics (particularly in forensic genetic genealogy) and contributes to supporting humanitarian efforts via human identification. He currently is a visiting professor at the University of Helsinki and a consultant with Othram\, Inc.

SUMMARY:ANZFSS QLD Branch 2026 Early Career Researchers & Students Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the ANZFSS QLD Branch 2026 Early Career Researchers & Students Symposium\, a dedicated event showcasing the research and achievements of current students and early career researchers across the forensic sciences. Designed as a supportive and encouraging environment\, the symposium provides an opportunity to present research\, gain valuable presentation experience\, and engage with members of the broader forensic science community. \n\nThe program will feature six presentations spanning a range of forensic disciplines\, followed by a networking session with light refreshments\, where attendees can connect with practitioners\, researchers\, and fellow students. A highlight of the evening will be the award of the ANZFSS QLD Science Innovation Award to one presenter. \n\n\nDate: Wednesday\, 16 September 2026\nTime: 6:00 PM\nAbstract submissions close: 17 August 2026\nAbstract submission link: ANZFSS QLD Branch 2026 Early Career Researchers & Students Symposium Abstract Submission – Fill out form \nPresenters are invited from current students and early career researchers (defined as individuals within two years of graduating from their most recent university qualification). Whether you are presenting or attending\, this is an excellent opportunity to learn\, share ideas\, and build professional connections within the forensic science community.
