The result is a separation of the macromolecules, based on mass. Then a current is applied across the gel. During gel electrophoresis, the macromolecules (DNA in the forensics example above) are loaded into a gel. Macromolecules are "large" molecules, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate and view macromolecules. The only problem left is, how will she "see" and "measure" the different pieces of DNA in each sample? You might have seen such a scene on the television show CSI. This means that there will be an exact match in the pattern of different-sized pieces of DNA between one of the suspects and the DNA left at the crime scene, but not to any other suspects' DNA. The exact number of pieces and their sizes will be unique to each individual. How will she determine if either of the suspects' DNA matches the crime scene DNA? The scientist knows she can use an enzyme to cut each DNA sample at a particular sequence of nucleotides this will leave behind several different pieces of DNA. One sample is the DNA left behind at the crime scene by the criminal the other two samples are DNA from possible suspects.
A part of the graduates from this program are also expected to work (as the other AAUP graduates) in the inside of the Green Line! Criminal Biology possesses a wide variety of growing working opportunities.A forensic scientist sits in her lab with three DNA samples in front of her.
#BIOTECHNOLOGY IN FORENSIC SCIENCES PROFESSIONAL#
Police Departments are expected to be a major employer for “Criminal Biology” practicing professional graduates.
Use Data management and digital technology skills for the conduction of scientific research, and lifelong learning.Īltogether, the graduates from the Criminal Biology BSc program will efficiently fill gaps in different Palestinian ministries (Health, Justice, Interior and Education), in addition to the higher education and research institutions as well as universities. Perform professional, ethical and leadership responsibilities in handling evidence of criminal investigations. Demonstrate effective collaboration as part of a forensic team to achieve justice. Evaluate the multidisciplinary nature of criminal biology life in the 21st century. Analyze samples in crime scene scientifically and apply relevant scientific principles to solve problems. Apply basic concepts in biosciences to synthesize accurate data. Describe and analyze crime scene based on appropriate laboratory analysis. Critically apply theories, advanced methodologies and research procedures in the discipline of criminal biology. Enable students to critically examine, and analyze criminal evidence from the scene.Īt the end of the program, graduates will be able to:. Prepare empowered graduates, ethical leaders, and researchers who can effectively contribute in the field of criminal justice. Provide students with exceptional educational experience through a hands-on and practical methodologies in forensic sciences. Demonstrate theoretical and practical competence in criminal biology discipline, and related basic and biological sciences. destined to strengthen justice standards in Palestine. The Arab American University is working actively on hiring more forensic specialists as well as housing state-of-the-art criminalistics and forensic facilities and laboratories for the promising “Criminal Biology” Dept. Criminal Biology students will have training possibilities in the available forensic activities of Police Depts. The BSc degree of Criminal Biology at AAUP provides a solid foundation, and practical skills in both Biology and Criminalistics. Such additions also widen the scientific and practical background of the graduates from the intended BSc program. Tawjihi graduates are accepted in this programĪ promising interdisciplinary bachelor program of “Criminal Biology” in a qualified infra-structure environment is offered where international standards are met in addition to original particularities to meet local Palestinian circumstances and employment. Still, a fully-fledged specialty is needed to supplement and support the classical criminal investigations. Our Palestinian State institutions and the academic infrastructure are being actively constructed as a prerequisite of Independence.
