We hope you are all staying safe during these trying times 💙

Our research team are all still working tirelessly on their projects, adapting to the current circumstances as best we can by working from home where possible and adhering to the Australian governments guidelines when in the laboratory or in field.

Protection, dignity, and respect for deceased individuals and their families in COVID-19 When people die during war, disaster or migration, their bodies must be handled respectfully and with dignity. The remains of individuals must be found, recovered and identified to help prevent and resolve the tragedy of people unaccounted for as a result of armed conflict and other situations of ar...

Hi everyone!

Our research team is evolving and we have changed our name to encompass all of our new and current researchers.

We would also like to engage more with our community here on Facebook, so over the next coming weeks we will be starting an exciting new feature; "Meet the Scientists".

Through this, we will be introducing you to our team so that you can get to know who we all are and what each of us do!

Stay tuned for more... 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

A great read on some of the multi-jurisdictional work conducted by many of our researchers at the Australian Facility for Taphonomic Experimental Research (AFTER).

Real corpses add grit to terror training at Sydney's secret 'body farm' Human remains and cutting edge tech are helping to train Australia's top forensic officers in disaster response at a heavily guarded research facility.
