Summary

CapCell aims to enhance forensic evidence collection for sexual violence cases by developing a toolkit that utilizes microfluidics and single-cell genomics. This innovative approach will improve the isolation and analysis of DNA from complex biological mixtures, aiding in the prosecution of offenders.

Objective

Sexual violence affects 1 in 10 women across Europe and has increased by 10% alone in 2021-2022.

Most cases involve complex biological mixtures containing cells from the victim and perpetrator(s).

Current forensic methods struggle to isolate individual DNA profiles, leaving many cases unresolved and perpetrators unprosecuted.

Addressing these limitations is critical to improving evidence interpretation, ensuring justice for victims, and reducing societal impacts.CapCell aims to deliver a new app…
