Sarajevo, 7 March 2018: The International Commission on Missing Persons has presented Sarajevo University’s Faculty of Natural Science with a comprehensive range of equipment that will make it possible to establish a new DNA laboratory at the university.
At the Faculty today, the Head of ICMP’s Western Balkans Program Matthew Holliday presented the Dean of Faculty of Natural Science, Professor Mustafa Memić with the accompanying documentation for the equipment, which includes two DNA sequencers and sequencing computers, pipettes necessary for DNA lab work and essential laboratory hardware and furniture.
ICMP has also supplied the operating system and software needed to make the equipment operational.
“The equipment donated to our faculty is of great importance and will be used in the teaching process of all three study cycles. In this way, students will be introduced to the latest technologies in the field of molecular biology. In addition, teaching staff at the Faculty of Natural Sciences will have at their disposal modern equipment for their scientific research work,” Professor Memić said.
Matthew Holliday pointed out that when ICMP reorganized its BIH laboratory system in 2016 it donated strategic equipment to the Institute of Legal Medicine in Banja Luka. “ICMP has always sought to ensure that equipment is put to effective use for as long as possible. The laboratory system was relocated to The Hague during 2017, which has enabled ICMP to begin utilizing Next Generation Sequencing, a method of DNA matching that is significantly more powerful than the systems that have been applied until now. However, the equipment donated today can still serve extremely useful purposes. It can help scientists in Bosnia and Herzegovina develop their forensic capacity.”

Sarajevo, 7. mart 2018. godine: Međunarodna komisija za nestale osobe je darovala Prirodno-matematičkom fakultetu Univerziteta u Sarajevu širok spektar opreme koja će omogućiti uspostavljanje nove DNK laboratorije na univerzitetu.
Danas je na Fakultetu rukovodilac ICMP-ovog Programa za zapadni Balkan, Matthew Holliday predao prof. dr. Mustafi Memiću dekanu Prirodno-matematičkog fakulteta Univerziteta u Sarajevu, propratnu dokumentaciju za opremu koja uključuje dva uređaja za sekvenciranje DNK i računare za sekvenciranje, pipete neophodne za rad u DNK laboratoriji, te osnovnu laboratorijsku opremu i namještaj.
ICMP je također obezbijedio operativni sistem i software potreban za funkcioniranje opreme.
“Donirana oprema našem fakultetu je od velikog značaja, te će biti korištena u nastavnom procesu sva tri ciklusa studija. Studenti će se na ovaj način upoznati sa najnovijim tehnologijama u oblasti molekularne biologije. Osim toga, nastavnonaučno osoblje Prirodno-matematičkog fakulteta imat će na raspolaganju savremenu opremu za svoj naučnoistraživački rad”, rekao je prof. dr. Mustafa Memić.
Matthew Holliday je istako da je prilikom reorganizacije laboratorijskog sistema u BiH 2016. godine, ICMP donirala stratešku opremu Zavodu za sudsku medicinu u Banja Luci. “ICMP je uvijek nastojao osigurati da se oprema efektivno koristi što je duže moguće. Laboratorijski sistem je prebačen u Hag tokom 2017. godine, čime je omogućeno da ICMP počne koristiti sekvenciranje sljedeće generacije, metodu utvrđivanja podudarnosti DNK koja je u značajno mjeri snažnija nego sistemi koji su se do sada primjenjivali. Međutim, oprema koja je danas donirana može još uvijek poslužiti u izuzetno korisne svrhe. Ona može pomoći naučnicima u Bosni i Hercegovini da razvijaju svoje forenzičke kapacitete.”
