IIT-BHU wins National Award for forensic age estimation tech

A team from IIT (BHU), Varanasi, has won the Forensic Hackathon 2025 for developing a glycan-based forensic technology. This innovative method accurately estimates age using biological fluids, potentially transforming forensic investigations in India. The technology uses glycomic profiling and machine learning to decode molecular signatures, offering insights into an individual's health and physiological condition.
