#2025 DUBAI

DNA FORENSIC FORUM

  • Instagram

We were honoured to be invited to join the 2025 World Police Summit, which took place FROM 13-14 May 2025 in Dubai.

This special Forensic DNA Forum featured A Tapestry of Forensic Expertise from Africa, alongside other global leaders. Dr Vanessa Lynch hosted the event and led an engaging collection of case studies and programmes that highlighted the exceptional forensic work being done across the continent and beyond. The forum was a dynamic, uniquely formatted forensic science showcase — designed as an interactive platform for experts to share insights with a global audience.

Additionally, the forum dovetailed with HIDS2025, creating a blended platform where live and virtual presenters connected with audiences worldwide. It marked a groundbreaking moment to introduce Africa’s forensic expertise to the international stage — and, more importantly, to invite the world to engage with us.


It was an event not to be missed!
Stay tuned to see where we’re heading for 2026!

We’ll also be broadcasting video highlights from the Dubai event in a series of upcoming Forensic DNA webinars — offering everyone the chance to experience the conversations, casework, and collaborations that took centre stage.
