The aim of the course is to provide theoretical and practical principles for the comprehension and the resolution of forensic genetics questions and rudiments of legal medicine useful for the expert witness and the biologist. At the end of the course students will be able to: 1) analyze and solve with the most suitable technique of molecular biology questions about identification of traces and corpses; 2) analyze and solve with the most suitable technique of molecular biology questions about kinship; 3) process laboratory data using the most appropriate statistical methods. Otherwise students will acquire general rudiments of legal medicine i.e. professional secrecy, informed consent, privacy principles, legislation about organ transplantation, voluntary pregnancy interruption and assisted medical procreation.
