The UP-NSRI DNA Analysis Laboratory is mandated to establish the scientific framework of forensic DNA technology in the Philippines. The laboratory is also equipped to conduct researches on the genetic diversity of Filipinos to study population history and evolution. HISTORY
On May 16, 1996, the MOA between the University of the Philippines and the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission (PACC), represented by the Vice-President Joseph E. Estrada to establish the DNA Analysis Laboratory, was signed. The construction of the UP-NSRI-DAL and installation of equipment were completed in December 1997. EQUIPMENT and INFRASTRUCTURE
The laboratory houses state-of-the-art equipment for DNA analysis. The infrastructure is designed to streamline casework and research for a more efficient, timely and cost-effective approach to any problem. HIGHLIGHT: The Rule on DNA Evidence
The laboratory assisted in formulating the scientific framework of the Rule on DNA Evidence, promulgated on October 15, 2007. This Rule guides Philippine courts of law on the admissibility and probative value of DNA evidence.
