What makes you distinct goes beyond just your DNA or fingerprints. Forensic chemistry can trace your residential history, dietary habits, and even the origins of your food. This irrefutable evidence of provenance is becoming more valuable for food manufacturers, biosecurity professionals, and law enforcement alike. Businesses utilize forensic analytical science to ensure regulatory compliance, support marketing claims, and safeguard products and brands against counterfeit activities. Our degree program emphasizes crucial analytical methods in forensic biology (including DNA analysis) and forensic chemistry (spectroscopic techniques, trace analysis). These specialized analytical competencies are in high demand across industrial sectors, governmental organizations, and regulatory authorities responsible for natural resource management.
