"Developing New Technologies for Forensic DNA Typing: Multiplex PCR and MALDI-TOF-MS, new markers and assays from mtDNA and the Y chromosome"

Dr. John Butler, Ph.D.

Dr. Butler is a pioneer in Forensic DNA typing. He completed his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry at the University of Virginia in 1995 working with the FBI Research Laboratory first demonstrating STR typing by capillary electrophoresis and developing a method for quantitating mitochondrial DNA. After completing postdoctoral training at NIST, he became a project leader at GeneTrace Systems and is currently a NIST as research chemist developing time-of-flight mass spectrometry for forensic DNA typing.
