A DNA Analyst examines genetic material to assist in criminal investigations, paternity cases, or medical research. You might work in a forensic laboratory, research institution, or healthcare facility. DNA Analysts focus on analysing biological samples to extract and interpret DNA profiles, providing critical information for legal or medical purposes. You’ll use advanced laboratory techniques and maintain meticulous records to ensure the accuracy and reliability of your findings.
