DNA 2011-“The 3rd International Conference on DNA Fingerprinting..,past, present and the future” to be held at Geological Survey of India, Aliganj Lucknow. This historical event is first of its kind in north India. This year’s event is organized by BioAxis DNA Research Centre Pvt Ltd and Forensic Science Laboratory, Uttar Pradesh- Uttar Pradesh Police Department. Following on from the success of DNA-THE DECISIVE EVIDENCE, held in August 2009 at Andhra Pradesh Police Academy (APPA) Hyderabad and The science of DNA Fingerprinting in Crime Investigation, held in October 2010 at Osmania University, Hyderabad.

Leading editors from electronic and print media have also been invited to be the part of panel discussions.
Following is the message sent by Prof Alec Jeffreys, Father of DNA Fingerprinting in India
Dear Amit
"It is now 25 years since DNA typing was first applied to a criminal investigation, so this conference on the Science of DNA Fingerprinting is very timely and marks a major milestone in forensics. I would like to pass on my kind regards to all the conference delegates and my very best wishes for a successful meeting on past, present and future developments in DNA identification."
I will of course be delighted to be a Patron and have attached a photo which I hope will be suitable.
with best wishes
Alec

Dr Lalji Singh (VC-BHU), DGP- Sri BrijLal, ADG-L&O UP Police, Former VC- UOH, VC JNTUKakinada, Directors of FSL,Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh etc have already sent encouraging messages for this conference.
350 Nominated officers and scholars are expected to witness this historical and first of its kind event in North India. Dubai police, CBI, Mumbai Police department, Rajasthan police department, Andhra Pradesh Police Department, Uttar Pradesh Police Department, Lucknow University, NICFS New Delhi, AAIDU etc have already sent the nominations.
Dr Amit Kumar General Chair of DNA 2011 and Director, BioAxis DNA Research Centre Pvt Ltd says that our organization’s prime aim is to contribute to society by creating awareness of this wonderful technology. This technology has shown its promising role and many innocents have been freed from the bars. DNA Series conferences are initiative to strengthen the knowledgebase of the end users of DNA Fingerprinting and its advancements in Criminal Investigation and Judicial systems. DNA 2009 and 2010 were very well received events by participation of more than 650 attendees from different Investigation agencies, judicial agencies, Police departments, Scientists and the budding scholars. DNA Bill 2007 is drafted and India is stepping ahead to create its DNA Databank soon.
Important cases where DNA Technology was used in India are Rajiv Gandhi Murder case, Tandoor murder case, Beant Singh Case, Godhara case, Aarushi Murder case, Mangalore air crash, Kalka mail accident etc. The goal of the conference is to provide Attorneys, Medical Doctors and Law enforcement agencies, an understanding of the DNA fingerprinting technology, the challenges associated with it and the instances where it can be used. As a general rule of object of criminal law is to punish and not to compensate. DNA Testing can play very important role in violent crimes, conventional crimes, white collar crimes, Crime against women and children etc. Over the period of two days the event will cover subjects like Forensic DNA sample Isolation from various sources, DNA Profiling, DNA Testing and reporting, Forensic Bioinformatics, Low template DNA processing in laboratory and Future of Forensics, Touch DNA etc. In 1985, Alec Jeffreys, discovered that each human has unique DNA with the exception of identical twins. When the National Research Council said in 1992 that DNA testing was a reliable method to identify criminal suspects, the technology rapidly entered the mainstream court system. It can also, by comparison of samples from putative parents and offspring, give equally indisputable evidence of parentage.
