  • Identification of individuals involved in criminal proceedings based on artifacts found at the crime scene,
  • In the case of sexual violence, identifying the biological samples taken on people who have suffered violence.

The Unit of Forensic Genetics Laboratory of Molecular Diagnostics (LDM) is also integrated in the federal context, working with the federal departments of forensic genetics on Swiss territory (IRM Zürich , IRM Bern, Lausanne CURML, IRM Aarau, St. Gallen IRM and IRM Basel) .
