Forensic Science International: Genetics reviewer Hall of Fame 2018
Reviewers are the lifeblood of the Forensic Science International
family, helping us to ensure that we publish only the highest quality
papers across the disciplines that we represent. They maintain the
rigorous standards of Forensic Science International: Genetics (FSIG) and
the integrity of the research that we disseminate. Reviewers are care-
fully selected by the editors for the excellence of their work and their
expertise in the field.
First Introduced in 2018 for 2017 reviewers [1], we are delighted to
continue the FSIG ‘Reviewer Hall of Fame’ which recognises the sig-
nificant role of our most active reviewers.
We are proud to announce the following entrants for 2018:
Wojciech Branicki
Jagiellonian University, Poland
Wojciech Branicki is a professor and research group leader at
Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology of the Jagiellonian University. The
group participates in research on the discovery of new genetic and
epigenetic markers and in the development of new forensic genetics
tools. His main area of interest is DNA-based prediction of appearance
traits and age.
Peter Gill
University of Oslo Hospital, Norway
Peter Gill is Professor of Forensic Genetics. Research interests in-
clude: the development of open-source software development to inter-
pret complex DNA profiles (mixtures); interpretation of evidence at
‘activity’ level and the analysis and prevention of miscarriages of jus-
tice. He is an active member of ISFG and ENSFI, regularly organising
and supporting educational workshops on the interpretation of evi-
dence.

(LUMC), The Netherlands. Since 1994 he leads the Forensic Laboratory
for DNA research at LUMC. In 1997, he was co-responsible (together
with Lutz Roewer and Manfred Kayser) for the worldwide introduction
of Y-chromosomal microsatellites for forensic genetic and population
genetic applications. Since 2011 he tries to use Massively Parallel
Sequencing, a method for which his lab received ISO-17025 accred-
itation in 2015, as a new forensic diagnostic DNA-tool.
Hwan Young Lee
Seoul National University College of Medicine, South Korea
Hwan Young Lee is currently associate professor of forensic medi-
cine at Seoul National University College of Medicine, South Korea. Her
research interests include developing DNA methylation markers for
body fluid identification, age prediction, and lifestyle prediction and
applying these markers to evidence analysis.
On behalf of the journal’s editorial team and Elsevier, we would like
to extend our sincere thanks to all our reviewers for their diligent eff
;orts and hard work over the course of 2018, for which we are ex-
tremely grateful. We look forward to another successful year ahead!
