Retrospective 2024 - Thrilled to share the 1st publication from our project "The Off-season of Dental Cementum Investigations". Shedding light on the complexities of season-of-death estimation! @OJPNIJ @utrgv & @univ_lille 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Retrospective 2024 - Kicking off the @OJPNIJ-funded project by @UTRGVAnthro @utrgv & @univ_lille for advancing standards for dental cementum age-at-death & season-of-death estimation. A great example of 🇺🇸-🇫🇷cooperation for standardization and AI-driven histology ! #Forensic

Le service de chirurgie maxillo-faciale du @CHU_Lille décroche la 1ère place au classement du Point! 🎉 Un immense merci à nos équipes pour leur engagement quotidien et à nos patients pour leur confiance. 🙏 #Innovation #Santé #Excellence

2024 Retrospective:📢 Our lab was evaluated by the @Hceres_ in October 2024. This assessment marks an important milestone as we continue striving for excellence in research and innovation. Thank you to our team and collaborators for their unwavering support! 🙌✨

2024 Retrospective:🎓👏 Congratulations to Benoit Bertrand, Associate Director of our lab, for successfully defending his HDR entitled : From Age-at-Death Estimation to Date-of-Death Estimation: Transposing Methods from Biological Anthropology to the Judicial Context!🦷🕵️‍♂️

2024 Retrospective:🕵️‍♂️🦷Our latest study explores the limitations of using dental cementum to predict season-of-death in forensic anthropology. In collaboration with @CIAS_UC @UTRGVAnthro @CIAS_UC Curious about the results? 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

2024 Retrospective: Radiocarbon dating in forensics? Definitely! This technique is revolutionizing forensic casework🕵️‍♀️🦴 In collaboration with @LSCE_IPSL, @c2rmf and @UTRGVAnthro Learn more here👇 academic.oup.com/fsr/article/9/…

2024 Retrospective:💀💡 Julie’s Master’s internship at @UTMLA delved into a hypothetical decapitation case of a religious figure from the Abbey of Notre-Dame d'Hénin, France, blending archaeology and forensic analysis to uncover the story.⛪️

2024 Retrospective:💀Prune wrapped up her Master’s internship at @UTMLA, investigating the differential preservation of skeletal remains in potential obese individuals. Her research sheds new light on decomposition processes! 🦴🔍

2024 Retrospective:🦴🔍Can ancient fractures be distinguished from post-mortem breakage? During her Master’s internship at @UTMLA, Manon tackled this question by analyzing skeletons from the Abbey of Hénin-Beaumont, France.

2024 Retrospective:💀Florie and Valentine completed their Master’s internship exploring 3D surface scanning and 3D printing in forensic anthropology. Their work paves the way for better training and innovative evidence presentation in court!🏛️

2024 Retrospective:💀📹How can we best capture forensic scene in 3D? For her 2024 Master’s project, Elise compared LiDAR and photogrammetry using the BLK360 @LeicaGeoFR and Recon-3D @Eugene_Liscio. Her findings could transform forensic investigations! 🦴✨🔎

2024 Retrospective:🤝Excited to showcase the collaboration between the Functional Toxicology Unit @CHU_Lille and @UTMLA! Dr. F Hakim presented a case study on postmortem toxicology in skeletal remains at SFTA 2024 in Dijon. Read the abstract here:👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

2024 Retrospective: @UTMLA participated in an archaeological excavation in collaboration with @eveha_archeo. With the BLK360 scanner by @LeicaGeo and Recon-3D by @EugeneLiscio, we documented scenes in 3D within minutes! 🦴#LiDAR #Photogrammetry #ForensicAnthropology

2024 Retrospective:🔬🦴 Discover how invasive, micro-invasive, and non-invasive techniques are revolutionizing the study of skeletal remains. Dive into the latest practices and expert recommendations! journals.openedition.org/bmsap/14170

2024 Retrospective:🔬👩‍🔬How reliable are colorimetric methods for estimating time since death? During her Master's internship at @UTMLA, Kenza critically examined the application of Nile Blue and Indophenol in forensic anthropology🦴#ForensicAnthropology #ForensicScience

2024 Retrospective: Benoit Bertrand has been appointed as a new board member of the Forensic Anthropology Society of Europe @SocietyFASE! 🦴✨#ForensicAnthropology #ForensicScience #BiologicalAnthropology

2024 Retrospective: At #AABA2024 @BiologicalAnth in Los Angeles, we presented "Guidelines for Forensic Anthropology in Northern France: Where Medicolegal Significance Meets Archaeological Relevance," exploring the intersection of forensic practice and archaeology. 🔍✨

2024 Retrospective:🔬Can proteomics reveal the post-mortem interval? During her Master’s internship, Alexandra, co-supervised by MSAP & @UTMLA, analyzed proteins from modern and ancient teeth to identify biomarkers. Read her conference abstract here: 👇 hal.science/hal-04712015

2024 Retrospective:🦴Exciting advancements in proteomics! Led by Bordeaux Proteome, this study developed hydroxylamine-based methods to extract more proteins from fresh, forensic and archaeological human remains👇 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
