: The Week 45 Forensic Science Geek of the Week: Mehul B. Anjaria

According to his website: “MBA DNA Consulting, LLC was founded with the goal of providing a bridge between science and the law. While forensic science is in theory science applied to matters of the law, it may only answer questions posed by one interest. I have come to realize that technical knowledge, skills, and abilities even when coupled with excellent presentation skills, do not make one a good consultant. It is in fact the ability for the scientific consultant to actually adopt the mindset of the attorney and understand the specific pragmatic goals of the consultation… Prior to founding MBA DNA Consulting, LLC I was involved in establishing California’s first ASCLD/LAB-International accredited forensic DNA laboratory. I am also interested in lending my expertise to organizations wishing to establish a DNA laboratory and/or attain ASCLD/LAB-International accreditation.” Among his listed services that he offers includes: DNA case file review, Witnessing of laboratory DNA testing, Expert witness DNA testimony, Assistance with DNA direct/cross-examination questions, Review of expert witness DNA testimony, Pro per DNA assistance and DNA Education/training.

OFFICIAL QUESTION:

: Forensic Science Geek of the Week Challenge

1. Who is this?

2. What is his significance to forensic science?

Our Geek of the Week answered:

As a DNA expert, I should probably disqualify myself! This is Sir Alec Jeffreys, who pioneered the use of forensic DNA testing in the mid 1980’s. His RFLP testing method was the initial testing technology used in the field. It required 4-6 weeks for a result and required quite a bit of DNA-approximately a dime-sized blood stain. Jeffreys is a British Geneticist. I recently posted an interesting interview with him on my Twitter account: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxJ7Wym8gc4&feature=share
