How To Get Job In CBI & Forensic Department After Life Science Degree The alarming rate at which crime is increasing all over the world is a matter of deep concern.

TO BE PRACTICAL CRIME & CRIMINALS CAN NEVER BE ERADICATED COMPLETELY FROM THE SOCIETY HENCE THE NEED OF A FORENSIC SCIENTIST IS A NECESSITY IN ALL CITY, STATES & COUNTRIES.

By Rashmi Sanyal

In order to ensure quick & correct justice to be passed, a major role is being played by a Forensic Scientist. They look at a crime scene with a scientific mind and analyze pieces of evidence to help the legal system.

Many students who are in their life science graduation or post graduation level are unaware that they can make their career in this domain too. To understand in depth How To Get Job In CBI & Forensic Department After Life Science Degree, we must first understand what is Forensic Science & what are the job responsibilities of a forensic scientist.

Forensic science is one of the most sought-after avenues. The term forensic is obtained from Latin word “forensis” that means “of or before the forum. A forensic scientist may work as a freelancer or may be associated with departments like the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) & Intelligence Bureau (IB), Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL). They can also be employed in the government sector, where they work in different law enforcement agencies and investigation departments such as police, investigative services of state and central government and legal system.

menting the evidence Their investigations are conducted independently to avoid partiality.

The evidence is tested. With detailed analysis, records are prepared for each case May be required to reconstruct accident scene to trace past events.

These pieces of evidence may be used during criminal trials to testify and explain the suspicions.

THE PATH TO BECOMING A FORENSIC SCIENTIST Step 1: Complete Class 12 with a good academic record. A scientist must have strong basics to be able to handle investigations on their own.

Step 2: Earn a Bachelor’s degree to be able to be eligible for a career in Forensic science. One may also choose to complete their graduation in Chemistry, Biology, Microbiology, ROLE OF A FORENSIC Zoology, Applied Sciences or PhysiSCIENTIST ology. It is always advised to have a deep knowledge and hands-on experiForensic scientists help in criminal ence with various techniques used for investigations by performing the folanalysis.

• Collect, identify and classify physical evidence pertaining to a crime scene or suspect • Collect data, photograph, and pieces of evidence like blood smear, fingerprints, bullets to help understand the past events in the area.

• They are responsible for docu-

Step 3: One may also obtain a graduate degree and/or post graduation degree in Forensic Science itself. There are both graduation and post-graduation courses offered in Forensic Science in various institutes, few of which have been listed below.

Step 4: To have a successful career, it is essential to narrow down your specialty. For instance, if you work with DNA analysis, it is wise to complete additional courses in that field.

Certifications and hands-on experience are always welcome.

There are many specializations offered under Forensic science. If presented with an opportunity to complete a course on the same, it would be advisable to take it. A few of them have been listed below: • • • • • • •

Forensic Biology Forensic Chemistry Forensic Entomology Forensic Ballistics Forensic Botany Forensic Serology Forensic Toxicology

Step 5: Some job requirements may be purely medical. For example, a medical report creation or a medical

examination can only be done by a doctor. Hence, one may also qualify MBBS and MD or a pathology degree before switching to the field of Forensics.

Step 6: Earn an associate in Law enforcement if you want to be able to be a crime scene investigator. It even allows one to testify in court cases when the need arises.

Step 7: It is essential to obtain a Master’s degree in Science along with a NET certification in Forensic Science to be eligible to teach the subject in college. In certain scenarios, a Doctorate degree may also be required.

Example a doctorate in Molecular Biology may be a suitable candidate for teaching the analytical techniques.

Step 8: On the job Training. The more experience you can gain, the easier it is to switch or pick a career.

Especially in Forensic Science, experience gives you better judgment and analysis.

FORENSIC SCIENCE FIELDS AND THEIR ELIGIBILITY Forensic Biology – This field can be pursued after a degree in either Forensic science or Biological Sciences. A scientist is required to apply biology to identify a crime suspect by DNA sample analysis or even mitochondrial sample analysis. In order to this, a

candidate must be strong in the basic biology and must be able to understand biological systems well. Then they will be able to analyze the anomalies associated with a crime scene.

in pedigree analysis and establishing paternity and maternity. This has now been computerized and the data is even used to trace suspects immigrating to other nations.

Forensic Pathology – Forensic Pathologists carry out autopsies to establish the cause of death. They identify the injuries, associate them with the type of weapon used, and are responsible for the collection and maintenance of the exhibits. They generally are from a medical background.

There may be requirements for Microbiologists as there may be analysis required of various human samples.

ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR A CAREER IN FORENSICS: Every department operating with Forensic Science may have their own requirements for selection. A few of the well-noted criteria are given below.

• Identification and Citizenship proof • Academic documents • Certification in the specialized field intended to join • May be required to clear NET in Forensic Science • May require a police clearance certificate for a background test.

• Medical test to prove sanity and eligibility.

• May require a medical science degree

Forensic Toxicology – They are concerned with the identification of foreign chemicals, poison or drugs administered in the victim’s body.

require to work in one of two areas: They inspect crime scenes, collect and analyze the evidence present in the field, or they work in the laboratory, where they perform tests and analyze the evidence collected. Both responsibilities are equally important and require precision, following proper protocol to sustain evidence chain of custody, and submitting reports. Technicians may be required to specialize in a variety of areas for example fingerprint analysis or digital forensics.

• Medical Examiner (Doctoral degree in medicine) Medical examiners perform autopsies and medicolegal examinations, which include locating and assessing body injuries, trauma, and hence determining the cause of death while identifying victims. They may be required to interview those who discovered the body or to re-create a crime scene to ascertain past events. They evaluate photographs of the crime scene and look through the medical history information on the victim.

They may be required to issue death certificates and determine the cause and manner of death.

• Forensic Psychologist (doctoral degree in Psychology) Often, a criminal can be identified by studying a person’s character and behavior. Forensic psychologists intersect psychology and the law. They often associate with people in the legal system, including lawyers, judges and police officials, to evaluate those who have been accused or convicted of crimes. They might evaluate perpetrators to determine the risk of recidivism or help victims deal with the trauma they have encountered or even decide whether someone is fit to stand trial.

• Latent Fingerprint Examiner (Bachelor’s degree in science and extensive training) These forensic scientists are highly

specialized in identifying, analyzing and lifting fingerprints at a crime scene. There may be field work required or they may be required to stay in the lab to analyze the prints and submit their reports. These reports may be presented to the appropriate law enforcement officials.

Apart from these career fields, there are some which have recently been developed. For example, for a very violent crime scene, there may be Bloodstain Pattern Analysts. They check the blood spatter, associate it with the instrument and the victim and predict whether the wounds were self-inflicted or the direction of movement of the culprit etc. Often these data are used by insurance companies to filter false claims from authentic ones.

Forensic Ballistic Experts identify the bullet used and the wound inflicted. They can trace the weapon used for the assault. There are even document examiners to assess the documentation work of the case. There can be polygraph test analyzers who can help in the criminal investigation by analyzing the authenticity of statements given.

Conclusion: It is never late to decide your career path. Life science is a vast field.

There are numerous employment avenues under it. Forensic Science is one such area which beckons students passionate about crime investigation and bringing justice to society. There are various techniques learned under applied biology that are required in forensic analysis. Also, individuals strong in understanding biological processes and systems can help in analyzing evidence related to a crime scene. The only thing required is a good academics record and a Bachelor’s degree in Science. With handson training in the job assigned, one will be able to master the skills needed for becoming a Forensic Scientist.

CSIR-IICB Launches World’s First Ayurvedic Cancer Drug – “Kudos CM 9” Cancer is a deadly enemy of society on a global scale. The alarming rate at which it is spreading its claws is a matter of great concern.

IN INDIA ALONE, CANCER DEATH TOLL CLOCKS IN APPROXIMATELY 2900 PER DAY, WITH MORE THAN 10 LAKH OF PEOPLE DYING PER YEAR.

By Preety Suman

Indian scientists have taken a step ahead in the battle with Cancer. The Ministry of Science & Technology, CSIR-IICB has successfully launched “Kudos CM 9” -world’s first ayurvedic drug to combat cancer and is non-synthetic, chemical free.

As per statements by a senior scientist involved in this project – Prof.

Chitra Mandal who belongs to the Cancer Biology & Inflammatory Disorder Division of CSIR-IICB, Kudos CM9 is a result of extensive research conducted by the team over past 30 years. It is the first ever ayurvedic drug made for cancer which has no side effects, she further added.

As per Prof. Mandal, this drug combination was prepared after carrying several tests on cancerous cells in the liver, pancreas and other organs. One of the combinations testes worked well for all types of cancers. She further added that Kudos CM 9 acts as an immunomodulator. It targets only Kudos CM 9 is believed to be a cancer cells and provides immune highly effective drug for treating can- therapy. cer in an early stage.

marketing of this unique drug both in India & Globally for the benefit of people on a global scale.

Kudos CM9 is world’s first ayurvedic drug that works on the concept of programmed cell death. It shields the healthy cells and fights against the malignant cells, thus boosting the immunity of patients suffering from cancer. Kudos CM 9 mechanism of action is to block certain cancer-promoting enzymes & hormones. It also posses antimutagenic, chemoprotective and radioprotective properties.

As per Dr. Priyanka CEO, Kudos Ayurveda said; “Kudos CM9 helps to prevent, fight and cure cancer at every

stage, i.e. genesis, growth and spread of cancer. Kudos CM9 is equally effective in those patients who have become resistant to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy.

Kudos CM9 is also highly useful for those patients, who are not fit for surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy due to old age marked weakness or any other factor”.

Kudos CM9 is available in the market in the form of tablets. More details on the efficacy of the drug will be known in the near future.

First Clinical Trial Of “Three Parent Baby”

By Embryotools In 2016 Worlds first “Three Parent Baby” was born by making use of genetic material from three people.

IT’S A NOVEL TECHNIQUE INVENTED TO REFRAIN THE NEWBORN CHILD TO INHERIT ANY DISEASE VIA HIS OR HER MOTHERS MITOCHONDRIAL DNA.

By Preety Suman

Under this technique mitochondria from one woman’s egg is taken along with the nucleus of another’s, the combination of which is then fertilized by sperm and then implanted into the uterus. It has been a controversial fertility treatment procedure since then. It is also known as a “mitochondrial replacement technique” or “three-person IVF”.

In the latest announcement, a Spanish company – Embryotools have declared that they will have conducted their first clinical trial involving the three parent embryo technique to combat infertility. A 32-year-old woman has conceived under the same project. She is the one among 25 other women enrolled under the program for whom embryo has been successfully planted.

Co-founder of Embryotools – Nuno Costa-Borges stated that this could revolutionize the infertility treatment

industry and may bring a new era in the field of IVF. He said that this procedure could give the patients chances of having a child genetically related to them.

Embryotools in collaboration with a fertility specialist at a clinic in Athens – Institute of Life. are studying 25 women under 40 years of age enrolled under the program. It includes only those women who have minimum two failed IVF attempts in the past. Since the procedure is banned in Spain the clinical trial was conducted

100% Effective Cure For Cancer By “MuTaTo” Claims Israeli Scientists 100% effective cure for cancer! Sounds unbelievable right? A group of Israeli researchers claims that they have developed worlds first complete cure for cancer which will be 100% effective with zero side effects.

AS PER REPORTS PUBLISHED IN THE JERUSALEM, THIS NEW CANCER TREATMENT IS BEING DEVELOPED BY A COMPANY- ACCELERATED EVOLUTION BIOTECHNOLOGIES LTD (AEBI) HEADED BY DAN ARIDOR.

By Preety Suman

He claims that the novel cancer cure they have developed will show its effect from day one and will be made available commercially at very minimal cost. He further added that their solution will be both generic and personal.

“MuTaTo” – multi-target toxin is the name of the cancer treatment which the Israeli scientists are working on.

MuTaTo anticancer drug is being made on SoAP technology, which belongs to the phage display group of technologies. The procedure involves the insertion of DNA coding for a protein – antibody into a bacteriophage.

These protein displaying phages can be deployed by researchers to screen for interactions with other proteins, DNA sequences and small molecules.

A team of scientists won the Nobel Prize back in 2018 for their work for

the production of antibody therapeutics – in particular, on phage display in the evolution of new proteins.

AEBi is currently doing something similar but with peptides. According to Moran, peptides prove to be more convenient for experimentation than antibodies owing to the facts that they are smaller, cheaper, and easier to produce and regulate.

The working principle behind MuTaTo is an aggregation of various cancer-targeting peptides for each cancer cell at the same time in combination

Scientists A Step Closer In Generating Made-To-Order Human Kidney

In a breakthrough study, researchers from the National Institute for Physiological Sciences, Japan have successfully grown fully functional mouse kidney using few donor cells inside rats. This discovery may aid in significant developments in the field of human organ transplantation.

The findings of the research are published in Nature communication Journal.

Patients suffering from an end-stage renal disease often cannot opt for a kidney transplant which is the only permanent solution in this scenario, owing to a global chronic shortage of donor’s kidneys and it’s heavy on

with a strong peptide toxin targeted to kill cancer cells individually.

The researchers also aim to personalize the MuTaTo cancer treatment. If a patient submits a part of his biopsy to the lab, they would analyze the receptors that are overexpressed, based on which an exact cocktail of a molecule will be administered to target & cure the disease. The advantage here is, unlike in AIDS wherein the administration of the therapeutic molecules is continued for a year, MuTaTo process will be completed only in few weeks. tion process.

Is Our Society Ready For A Brain Transplant?

An In-depth Analysis WEEKLY PODCAST

Episode17 Hello, lovely people out there! Welcome to another interesting podcast on the extensive platform of – Voice of Biotecnika and today we will try to figure out whether our society is ready for the brain transplant?

So people run your imagination and think!

Won’t it be a scientific miracle to allocate life to a deceased or lifeless body by transplanting a healthy brain from a donor? ya?

But unfortunately, it is not that simple.

There are numerous setbacks to this creative lifesaving innovation. Besides medical technicality associated, ethical issues can’t be ignored at all.

Before taking our journey ahead let us first understand what are the complexities associated with head body transplant which involves stitching someone’s head onto another person’s body just like many of you might have done in your childhood. Listen to this interesting podcast below to get answers to all the above questions!
