SafetyDetectives interview Dr. Mark Perlin

Dr. Mark Perlin, Chief Scientist and Executive at Cybergenetics, has dedicated over two decades to revolutionizing forensic DNA analysis. In a recent interview with SafetyDetectives, he discusses the development of TrueAllele®, a groundbreaking system that employs probabilistic genotyping to interpret complex DNA mixture cases that traditional methods often deem inconclusive.

TrueAllele® has been instrumental in resolving thousands of cases, assisting hundreds of agencies, and contributing to the exoneration of a dozen innocent individuals. Its robust validation is evidenced by over forty studies, including eight published in peer-reviewed journals, and its reliability has been upheld in more than forty-five court admissibility challenges.

Dr. Perlin emphasizes the importance of secure handling of forensic DNA data, detailing the multi-layered security measures implemented in TrueAllele® servers to protect sensitive case information.
