UCL Centre for the Forensic Sciences
The UCL Centre for the Forensic Sciences is an interdisciplinary initiative with members across the university and industry. We aim to create real world impact in the forensic sciences through our research and teaching, by collaborating with practitioners, policy makers and others, and by communicating our work through our publications and events. The CFS Director is Dr Ruth Morgan.
Help us crowd fund
March 2017
'Our ability to analyse may outstrip our ability to interpret forensic evidence', and despite what we see in shows like CSI and Silent Witness, the evidence is not enough. It's not enough to know what a piece of trace evidence is made of, we need to know what it means in a forensic case. Currently there are many questions that we need the answers to in order to interpret evidence accurately. But forensic science research is critically underfunded and these questions are still unanswered. UCL Centre for the Forensic Sciences is committed to addressing this significant issue so we are seeking to crowd fund £1,000,000 to create a dedicated forensic evidence research lab. We need your help. For more information and to join our community of backers visit: ucl.crowd.science

UCL CFS and Oxford Instruments partner to crowd fund a dedicated research facility for the interpretation of forensic evidence
Oxford Instruments has a longstanding collaboration with the UCL Centre for the Forensic Sciences and they have just announced that they will be supporting our initiative to crowd fund a new, cutting edge, forensic research lab by providing an AZtecGSR system with an X-MaxN detector for both GSR and other forensic analyses on a scanning electron microscope. This equipment represents a £50,000 contribution to the project and demonstrates Oxford Instruments commitment to the forensic sciences and our desire to partner with the research community in the development of cutting edge science.
