CapCell coordinator Dr Athina Vidaki (UM/MUMC+) was recently featured in an interview by Maastricht University on the role of forensic (epi)genomics in strengthening DNA evidence.
In the interview, Dr Vidaki explains how CapCell is developing new approaches to analyse single cells collected from forensic evidence. By improving the sensitivity, traceability and interpretation of DNA analysis, the project aims to support forensic laboratories in handling complex sexual assault cases and increase the chances of identifying perpetrators.
The article also highlights the scientific and societal motivation behind CapCell: providing clearer answers in cases where biological evidence is difficult to detect or interpret.
