Brendan Chapman
Dr. Brendan Chapman is a lead supervisor at Murdoch University who specializes in microbiology and forensic science. His recent research suggests that bacteria transferred during sexual intercourse could be used as a tool for forensic testing to identify sexual assault perpetrators. This innovative approach, termed the 'sexome,' aims to provide additional evidence in cases where traditional DNA methods fall short, particularly when no sperm is present.
