Life
I have been married for just over 20-years now and have three daughters  ages 18 and twin 16-years. Most of my life since 1999 has been living overseas and we have lived in Bosnia for 4 years, Croatia for a year, and we are currently living in Dubai. Attached is my work bio that helps tell what I am doing these days.
Ed Huffine
Vice President, Humanitarian Services/International Development
As vice president for humanitarian services at Bode Technology Group, Ed Huffine has overall responsibility for providing identification and forensic services for regions experiencing conflict or natural disaster as well as assisting nations with forensic system development. The development of forensic missions within other nations requires frequent interaction with the political, scientific, and diplomatic leaders of those nations as well as various non-governmental organizations and potential donors. In addition, Mr. Huffine develops proactive and preventative strategies which use forensic DNA testing to help deter genocide and/or systematic rapes,
Mr. Huffine has more than 17-years of experience in human DNA identification. His forensic career began in 1990 when he was hired by the Federal Aviation Administration and tasked with developing a DNA laboratory to assist in the identification of fatal air crash victims. From 1994 Â 1999, he worked for the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory where he became the Chief of the section responsible for the identification of missing American service members from the Vietnam, Korean, and World War II wars as we...Expand for more
ll as the testing of cases of special interest such as the bullet that allegedly killed John F. Kennedy. Mr. Huffine served as the Director of the Forensic Sciences Program for the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) from 1999 - 2004. From a central base of operations in Bosnia, Mr. Huffine was the architect of the commissionÂs Forensic Sciences Program, and was responsible for developing a comprehensive forensic system to assist in identifying the remains of the estimated 25,000 to 35,000 people missing in the wake of the Balkan conflict. This system, which incorporated cutting-edge identification technologies, has successfully DNA tested more than 20,000 skeletal samples and established a database of more than 80,000 reference samples, leading to the identification of more than 12,000 individuals. This was the first of its kind system created to identify thousands in a post-conflict setting, and has served as a model for the development of similar systems.
Mr. Huffine is currently the lead DNA scientist at Bode for the identification of the missing from the World Trade Center, the Katrina Hurricane, the missing women of Juarez and Chihuahua in Mexico, and other identification missions and served as the DNA Program Manager for the Thailand Tsunami Identification Center in early 2005. In September 2001, Mr. Huffine received a lifetime achievement award for his contributions in the field of human identifications. Mr. Huffine holds a bachelorÂs degree in Chemistry from Cameron University and a masterÂs in Biochemistry from University of Oklahoma.
