The Wildlife and Environmental DNA Forensics Laboratory (WEDF) is managed by the Swiss Human Institute of Forensic Taphonomy (SHIFT) of the Centre universitaire Romand de Médecine Légale (CURML) at the University of Lausanne (UNIL). The WEDF maintains privileged relations with the Laboratoire de Biologie de la Conservation (LBC) of the Département Ecologie et Evolution (DEE) and with the Ecole des Sciences Criminelles (ESC) within UNIL. The WEDF laboratory is under the direction of Dr. Vincent Varlet and the scientific supervision of Dr. Luca Fumagalli. We draw on over twenty years of expertise acquired in the context of forensic expertise (trafficking, property damage, etc.) or more generally in relation to forensic animal, plant and environmental genetics.
