FORENSIC GENETICS
ACTIVITY
In 1995, Dr. Fiorentino was
appointed to the Italian Police
Department- Forensic Science Service (FSS),
Rome - Italy, where he spent 3
years performing research and investigation on
forensic genetics, coordinating the DNA analysis
unit. While at FSS he determined to specialize
in the fields of forensic genetics; its main
activity was focused on nuclear and
mitochondrial DNA analysis from old and degraded
biological samples and low copy number DNA
samples, feeling that the combination of all
these disciplines would provide a nearly unique
foundation of formal qualifications for pursuing
his professional and research interests.
Presently, Dr. Fiorentino is court-appointed
consultant in forensic cases involving DNA
analysis from forensic specimens and paternity
disputing, as well as consultant of many lawyers
. He is also consultant of
humanitarian no – profit associations
regarding kinship tests by DNA analysis and its
use for migration purpose.
His activity in forensic genetics is mainly
focused on:
-
resolution of cases of uncertain paternity;
-
determination of maternity in cases of child
abduction, abandonment or adoption;
- confirmation of parentage of children conceived
through alternative reproduction technologies
such as in vitro fertilization;
- demonstration of kinship to a citizen for
immigration purposes;
- assistance to legal professionals in resolving
relationship disputes without unnecessary court
proceedings;
- determination of parentage or grand-parentage
for insurance or inheritance rights claims;
- identification of rightful heirs, or
identification of the person’s remains, for
example in cases of accidental death,
kidnapping, etc.
