Taphonomy Forensic Unit (UTML&A)

Research unit - ULR 7367

Description

Our research focuses on cadaveric degradation and related biological mechanisms in several disciplines, mainly medical, including forensic medicine, biological anthropology, odontology, bacteriology and entomology. Our work focuses in particular on the study of the behaviour of necrophagous insects, physicochemical evolution and changes in the surfaces of bone and dental components.
