What are the ethical, legal, and social implications of using forensic investigative genetic genealogy (FIGG) in forensic science? At #ISHI35, Dr. Christi Guerrini, Associate Professor at Baylor College of Medicine, shared her insights on this transformative technique and its potential for justice and exoneration.
In this fascinating interview, Dr. Guerrini discusses:
🔬 The ethical considerations behind FIGG and informed consent
⚖️ The barriers to using FIGG for defense and post-conviction cases
💡 HowF IGG has helped solve thousands of cases—and why its use for exonerations has only just begun
As the use of FIGG continues to expand, Dr. Guerrini’s work highlights the importance of pursuing justice responsibly and equitably.
ISHI isn’t just another conference. It’s a forum where the brightest minds in forensic science come together to share knowledge, spark innovation, and tackle the challenges of tomorrow.
