Submit an Oral, Interesting Case, or Poster Abstract
The 35th International Symposium on Human Identification (ISHI) invites abstract submissions from the global community of professionals and researchers specializing in DNA forensics. Submitted abstracts will undergo a peer-review process by experts specializing in DNA forensics. All proposals will be selected based on perceived interest to the forensic community. Abstract proposals should be non-commercial and focused on educating forensic scientists on topics that will improve their technical, legal or policy knowledge.
We welcome submissions that explore diverse aspects of DNA forensics, including but not limited to:
- Advanced DNA Profiling Techniques
- Emerging Technologies in Forensic Genetics
- DNA Database and Privacy Concerns
- Cold Case Investigations and DNA
- Ethical Implications in Forensic DNA Analysis
- Case studies and Real-World Applications
- Tips for Testifying
- Addressing the Backlog
- Activity Level Questions
Oral and Interesting Case Presentations due June 9, 2024.
Poster Abstracts due July 7, 2024.

Exhibition
Book a booth at ISHI and introduce your products and services to scientists from around the world. You’ll reach decision makers who purchase products and services related to all aspects of forensic DNA.
Webinars
Advancements in forensic techniques and technologies never stop, so learning shouldn't either. Watch one of our on-demand webinars.
The ISHI Report
Each quarter, we’ll bring you a glimpse into the fascinating field of forensic science and the dedicated people committed to carrying out the important work of identifying the missing, exonerating the innocent and finding the truth in each DNA sample.
Future Meeting Locations
Mark your calendars for future ISHI meeting dates and locations listed through 2027.
Forensic Genomics is the Official Journal of ISHI
Forensic Genomics is a new peer-reviewed journal that addresses how advances in genetic testing and genomic analysis can enable investigators to break through previously impenetrable forensic DNA barriers. Led by Editor-in-Chief Nicole Novroski PhD, the Journal focuses on the use of DNA testing technologies, algorithms, artificial intelligence, and genealogical research methods to support human identification using inference tools and inductive reasoning. Forensic Genomics aims to accelerate the validation and adoption of new methods to support investigations that would be otherwise stalled with traditional testing methods (view past issues).
