Summary
Professor Turi King is best known her work, “cracking one of the biggest forensic DNA cases in history”, leading the genetic analysis for the identification of King Richard III, whose remains were found under a carpark in Leicester. Turi presents, alongside Stacey Dooley, the BBC Two genealogy series, DNA Family Secrets. Turi has a PhD in Molecular Genetics on genetic genealogy. Her award-winning PhD examined the relationship between the Y chromosome and British surnames combining forensic DNA techniques with history and genealogy, the first large scale study of its kind. Named as one of the world’s ‘rockstar genealogists’, her work since has covered not only family history but the use of genetic genealogy in forensics and historical cases. Turi presents the BBC Radio 4 documentary "Genetics and the Longer arm of the Law”. She advises on numerous television programmes and provides genetic expertise to a number of famous crime writers, including Patricia Cornwell. Turi is about to embark on a tour of theatres around the country. See her website (below) for tickets.
Turi King is guest number 308 on My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things she'd like to put in a time capsule; four she’d like to preserve and one she’d like to bury and never have to think about again .
