Jailed for killing her four young children, freed after twenty years by advances in genomic science.

The case of Australian mother, Kathleen Folbigg, raises important questions for scientists, the medical profession and judicial systems around the world about the use of comprehensive genetic testing in criminal trials involving unexplained infant deaths.

For the first time since her release, Kathleen will be in the UK joined by key members of the team who helped overturn her convictions, alongside legal and medical experts.

This symposium, hosted by the Francis Crick Institute, will discuss how genomic science could aid the search for truth in these tragic cases and what changes might be needed for this type of expert evidence to get a fair hearing and help others falsely accused.

Join Kathleen Folbigg and world leading experts as they discuss the case for 'Justice by Genomics'.

This symposium is hosted by the Francis Crick Institute with support from LifeArc, the Royal Society, the Australian Academy of Science, the Yates Foundation and the Fundación Ramón Areces. Registration via the EventBrite page is essential and please note there are options to attend for the whole day and/or the evening.
