Lung Multi-Kingdom Microbes as Forensic Markers for Aquatic Corpses #worldresearchawards #researchawards #fosawards

Metagenomic analysis of lung microbiomes reveals multi-kingdom microbial signatures as powerful forensic markers for aquatic death investigations. The study identifies key bacterial and eukaryotic biomarkers—particularly Aeromonas hydrophila—that assist in drowning diagnosis, determination of drowning location, and estimation of the postmortem submersion interval (PMSI). Machine learning models further enhance accuracy, highlighting the forensic potential of lung microbial profiling in aquatic corpse investigations.

Forensic Profiling of Contraband Cigarettes #worldresearchawards #researchawards

Contraband tobacco poses significant challenges to public health, taxation systems, and law enforcement. Systematic profiling of cigarette packs—through packaging characteristics, tax stamps, printing features, barcodes, and security markers—provides valuable forensic intelligence to trace supply chains, identify counterfeiting patterns, and disrupt illicit trade networks. This analytical approach strengthens regulatory enforcement and supports evidence-based investigations into illegal tobacco distribution.

Virtopsy & Quick-Tox: A Multimodal Postmortem Workflow #worldresearchawards

This study presents a multimodal postmortem workflow integrating postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) with rapid toxicological screening (Quick-Tox) to improve forensic triage efficiency. Analysis of 128 cases at the Zurich Institute of Forensic Medicine demonstrated that combining imaging and rapid toxicology significantly reduced autopsy rates while accurately identifying intoxication cases.

KinSNP Benchmarking for Forensic Kinship #worldresearchawards #researchawards #fosawards

This study benchmarks KinSNP®, a forensic SNP-based kinship analysis tool developed by Othram, using real pedigree data across 66 pairwise comparisons. Its performance was compared with GEDmatch PRO and the Shared cM Project 4.0 tool. KinSNP® accurately predicted 82% of relationships within the highest confidence category and 12% within the second highest, showing strong reliability for close relatives.

Publication Rate of ISFRI Congress Abstracts #worldresearchawards #researchawards #fosawards

This study evaluates the abstract-to-publication conversion rate of research presented at the annual congresses of the International Society of Forensic Radiology and Imaging (ISFRI) between 2012 and 2022. Out of 464 abstracts, 47.6% were later published as full-text articles, with most appearing in the society’s journal Forensic Imaging (formerly Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging). The findings show a comparatively strong publication rate within radiological sciences, though more than half of the presented research remains unpublished, highlighting the need to address barriers to publication.

Intelligent justice: AI-driven forensics and legal process for criminal justice reforms #worldresearchawards #researchawards #fosawards

Intelligent Justice explores how Artificial Intelligence is transforming forensic science and legal processes within criminal justice systems. The study highlights how AI-driven tools—such as predictive policing, risk assessment models, and forensic analytics—can improve investigative accuracy, efficiency, and fairness. At the same time, it critically addresses ethical and legal concerns including algorithmic bias, transparency, admissibility of AI-generated evidence, and the need for human oversight. The paper advocates for strong regulatory frameworks to ensure AI supports justice reform while protecting fundamental rights and procedural safeguards.
