Research
Forensic science faculty at SHSU have a long-standing history of collaboration with other academic institutions, instrument and kit manufacturers, innovators, policy makers, and operational laboratories at the state, local and federal level. Academic-industrial partnerships contribute to the future success of the profession, and addresses the delicate balance of resources that exists within publicly-funded forensic science service providers.
Our research spans diverse fields of study including forensic biology, controlled substances, toxicology, trace evidence, questioned documents, forensic botany, medicolegal death investigation, forensic anthropology, disaster victim identification, forensic chemistry, pattern evidence, crime scene investigation, machine learning, informatics and more. To discuss a research opportunities for laboratories or corporate partners, please contact us by email or by phone.
The Southeast Texas Applied Forensic Science (STAFS) Facility is a willed-body donor center that is recognized by the Texas Anatomical Board. We are dedicated to providing research opportunities for local, national and international investigators pursuing research that benefits forensic science, law enforcement, as well as the broader scientific community. Resources available for research include a secure 2-acre outdoor decomposition facility for field work and taphonomic research, a diverse skeletal collection, and a BSL-2 certified laboratory for biological sample preparation.
SHSU is also participates in the Center for Advanced Research in Forensic Science (CARFS), an IUCRC (Industry/University Cooperative Research Center) of the National Science Foundation.
