The Diagnostic and Research Institute of Forensic Medicine is part of the Diagnostic and Research Center of Molecular BioMedicine. Institute staff are concerned with forensic medical examinations and forensic autopsies including the necessary histological analyses, site inspections, crime scene reconstructions, and blood spatter pattern analyses. They analyze and document the findings and create reports. Forensic scientists are always called upon when deaths of non-natural causes need clarification. In this case, forensic scientists are responsible for inspecting the corpse, conducting autopsies and exploring the presumed causes of death.
Forensic doctors are always called in when the cause of death is not natural. They examine the body, perform autopsies, and investigate the suspected causes of death. Forensic doctors also carry out clinical forensic examinations on living victims of physical violence in emergency rooms. Further diagnostic analyses are carried out by scientists in the fields of forensic chemistry and forensic molecular biology.
