Future Works
Life After iGEM
Overview
Life after iGEM is an interesting area for many projects. Some flourish into great things, some form a basis for PhD research, but many never find the funding to find their feet. So what is the potential after iGEM for the forensic tool kit?
The future for the forensic tool kit would be heavily based around further research and then creating a product with potential to make it commercial. Much more laboratory research would be needed to prove and test the aspects of the tool kit. After this the research can be used by the respective government to enhance police or it can fall into the business world to sell.
FLuID:
This part of our protect has great potential after iGEM, if the research created a multi-used bodily fluid as planed it would be the first spray that could find more than 1 of the main four bodily fluids found at a crime scene. Also the ideas and methods behind the spray are themselves a marketable and the principle can be used in a range of applications.
Chromate Biosensor:
With visual detection of residue being the only current method for finding traces on bone for forensic anthropologists, there is a need to have a biosensor that can show traces of stainless steel. This could then help piece together vital evidence that in previous cases has been lost. However the labwork we have done so far has not been successful , so a new approach is needed.
Fingerprint Ageing:
Being the Holy grail of science, if this was achieved it would be huge achievement in the forensic world. This would give legal systems around the world the ability to put a time frame on a crime scene. Gaining this new and crucial information has not been done before, this would make a great asset to any forensic response officer.
