Sigal Starinsky Elbaz

Holding a PhD in genetics, I bring extensive experience in forensic DNA analysis from my work in the DNA Database Lab of the Israeli Police. Additionally, I successfully established a dedicated Mitochondrial DNA section in the Miami-Dade Police Department, enhancing forensic capabilities and advancing investigative efforts.
