Improved Research-Based Forensic Science - The Example of Forensic Drug Intelligence in Australia and in Brazil

Project Member(s): Roux, C.

Funding or Partner Organisation: Australian Technology Network of Universities (ATN FAPESP Researcher Exchange)

Start year: 2014

Summary: The main purpose of this exchange is to engage in a long-term research-based collaboration between USP and UTS in forensic science, in general, and in the area of drug intelligence, in particular. This project will create an opportunity to engage in a long-term Australia-Brazil partnership in forensic science, using collaborative research in illicit drug between the Institute of Chemistry at Sao Paulo University (Campus Ribeirao Preto ¿ USP-RP) and the Centre for Forensic Science at University of Technology, Sydney (UTS-CFS) as a proof of concept program.
