Microbiomes after Death
Presented By: Jennifer Pechal
Speaker Biography: Dr. Pechal's research is focused on insect-microbe interactions across ecosystems and decomposition ecology. Specifically, her work is centered on those questions to better understand the biological mechanics governing decomposition across ecosystems, which is a vital biological process for all ecosystems. The knowledge gained through basic research allows further research avenues to be explored with more directed and applied research questions to solve real-world problems.
Webinar: Microbiomes after Death
Webinar Abstract: The postmortem microbiome is an emerging field in forensic science with broad application for death investigation (e.g., time since death). While the foundation for forensic microbiology began in the early 2000s, resulting from bioterrorism threats, the expansion of using entire microbial communities (the microbial organisms, their genes, and their gene functions) in a forensic context began in the early 2010s. Improvements in molecular approaches over the past twenty years to study the microbiome in medical fields have revealed the power and potential use of microbial diversity as a means to explore the associations of microorganisms with human health of living individuals. Researchers within forensic sciences adopted these technologies to determine if and how the postmortem microbiome could be used to aid death investigation. The importance of the human microbiome and its function in health during life is well known. However, few studies characterize the dynamics of the postmortem human microbiota from samples collected during real-world death investigation. Here, we discuss the on-going results from an extensive database of microbial samples with a focus on a major metropolitan urban city. Microbial taxonomic profiles from routine death investigation cases were generated through targeted amplicon sequencing (16S rRNA). The goal of this project is to provide a robust dataset of postmortem microbial communities. In the future, these data will advance death investigation by identifying specific microbial taxa or signatures of importance for application in forensic sciences and beyond.
