Forensic Epidemiology

At MF&E Investigative Services, Forensic Epidemiology (FE) serves as a critical

framework for integrating the analytical rigor of epidemiology with the evidentiary

precision of forensic science. This hybrid discipline empowers investigators, legal

professionals, and public health strategists to navigate complex questions of causality,

exposure, and liability in both civil and criminal contexts.

Core Principles

• Interdisciplinary Fusion: FE combines clinical judgment with population-level data to assess health-related outcomes linked to environmental, infectious, or behavioral exposures.
• Causal Determination: Our investigations support legal proceedings by evaluating whether specific exposures or conditions contributed to illness, injury, or death.
• Evidence-Based Analysis: We apply epidemiologic methods—such as case- control studies, outbreak mapping, and risk modeling—to strengthen forensic conclusions.
