King's Forensics Symposium 2025: Stronger Science for a Fairer SocietyInfo Location Attendee Categories Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionKing’s Forensics is an academic grouping within the Department of Analytical, Environmental & Forensic Sciences (AEFS), with unique resource provided by three laboratories accredited to UKAS Quality Standard (ISO/IEC 17025). The City of London police accredited fingerprint laboratory joined the Drug Control Centre and DNA analysis @ King’s in 2020. King’s Forensics houses three further laboratories supporting research ranging from anti-doping science to forensic toxicology, scene-of-crime trace analysis to human identification, and drug-driving to wildlife poaching. Our research is known for its impact, and focuses on addressing some of the global analytical challenges presented to governments, the police and justice departments as well as to educators and service providers. This symposium showcases that ongoing research highlighting important advances in genetic genealogy, anti-doping science and forensic science policy. Plenary and Core sessions will be presented by international experts and researchers from King's Forensics linked through the theme ‘Stronger Science for a Fairer Society’. Highlights include lightning and poster presentations for our PhD students and young researchers, updates from external partners and panel discussions on key issues, followed by prize giving.

Additional ItemsMore InformationSpeakers coming from across academia and the justice system will enable the focus on forensic science to be truly interdisciplinary, with core areas such as the potential impact of the scientific method being broadly discussed, and the highly relevant topic of sexual exploitation of vulnerable people being given the attention it deserves. We extend a warm invitation to colleagues from within government, industry and academia. We invite you to attend in person to enjoy the wonderful venue, attend lunch and drinks receptions and network on the 8th Floor rooftop of the iconic Bush House on the Strand. Online options are also available. "We look forward to bringing together the very best scientific experts, students, researchers and practitioners to discuss the latest advances in forensic genetics, international forensics, anti-doping science, forensic science policy and regulation, and analytical and forensic toxicology. This symposium is an opportunity to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, catch up and network here in the Centre of London. We promise a very exciting programme of science and scholarship." Professor Kim Wolff, MBE - Director of King's Forensics This event is being hosted by King’s Forensics at the Auditorium, Bush House for the plenary and core sessions. Posters will be displayed on 8th floor. Lunch is provided on both days and a drinks reception also on 8th floor Bush House.
