这个令人着迷的领域使用调查技术和工具来探索分析生物学证据的许多应用。法医生物学家帮助我们找到近期或遥远过去发生的事件的线索。他们在收集线索以向检察官提供使罪犯逃离街头所需的确凿证据方面发挥着重要作用。它们对于帮助我们识别有机物残骸也至关重要，有机物残骸是通过人类学追踪人类历史，通过植物学探索植物生命的起源和进化，或者通过病理学或昆虫学传播传染病的途径的关键。<br> <br>我们的法医生物学课程将为您提供现代犯罪实验室中使用的理论背景，实践技能和科学技术。这是通过科学和药学中心的实验室实践经验和/或专业实
Criminal forensic biologists analyze evidence from crime scenes and work hand-in-hand with law enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal levels. They study the fundamentals of DNA, fingerprints, and other biological evidence to offer assistance in convicting the guilty and exonerating the innocent. You can play a part in this important work as a Forensic Biology major at Western New England University. This fascinating field uses investigative techniques and tools to explore many applications of analyzing biological evidence. Forensic biologists help us to find clues to events that occurred in the recent or distant past. They play an important role in piecing together the clues to give prosecutors the corroborative evidence needed to get criminals off the street. They are also critical in helping us to identify the organic remains that are key to tracing human history through anthropology, the origins and evolution of plant life through botany, or the path of infectious disease outbreaks through pathology or entomology.<br><br>Our Forensic Biology curriculum will provide you with the theoretical background, practical skills, and scientific techniques utilized in modern crime laboratories. This is accomplished through coursework heavily augmented by practical laboratory experiences at the Center for the Sciences and Pharmacy andor professional internships. Required science coursework includes general biology, microbiology, cell biology, genetics, recombinant DNAfingerprinting, general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and physics. In addition, you will complete coursework in the areas of ethics and criminal investigation. Students also are required to provide expert testimony in the courtroom at our School of Law.
