Dr John Bond in our Department o Chemistry developed a ground breaking technique that is

able to analyse fngerprints on spent cartridge casings even ater theyve been wiped clean.

Sweat corrodes metal, so by applying an electrical charge and a fne carbon powder to the

corroded area, a fnger print can still be revealed.

The impact o the discovery has been massively ar-reaching. It has attracted interestrom many police orces across the world, most notably in the US where Dr Bond has now

examined cartridge cases rom hundreds o cold cases, including some notorious crimes, and

given testimony in court.

Our orensic research

reopened cold cases byrevealing fngerprintson bullets.

The morning o 10 September 1984 was Proessor Sir Alec Jereys

Eureka moment and the discovery o genetic fngerprinting at the

University o Leicester.

The implications o the discovery o DNA fngerprinting were to become

massively ar reaching, with applications in crime, testing paternity, twin

studies, conservation and diversity and immigration, amongst others.

We revolutionised

crime detection whenwe invented geneticfngerprinting.

How will you changethe world?
