About
Dr. Katie M. Horsman-Hall is a forensic geneticist whose work centers on advancing DNA extraction and automation technologies for forensic casework. Her research focuses on optimizing robotic platforms to handle diverse and challenging sample types, ensuring reliable DNA recovery in criminal investigations. Her most-cited study, "Implementation and Validation of the Teleshake Unit for DNA IQ™ Robotic Extraction and Development of a Large Volume DNA IQ™ Method" (2010, 8 citations), demonstrates her practical impact. In this work, she adapted existing DNA IQ protocols for the Biomek 2000 Automation Workstation to incorporate a Teleshake unit, enabling efficient processing of large-volume samples. This innovation improved throughput and consistency in forensic laboratories, directly supporting casework efficiency. Dr. Horsman-Hall’s contributions are foundational to modern forensic DNA analysis, bridging the gap between manual extraction methods and high-throughput automation. Her validated protocols remain a reference for labs seeking to enhance their forensic workflows, underscoring her role in shaping reliable, scalable forensic genetics practices.
