29. Februar 2016
In the biggest identification project of all time, the government of the state of Vietnam wants to recover the victims of the Vietnam War from mass graves, identify them genetically and give them to their families so that they can be honoured and buried according to their culture. The concept for the implementation of “Project 150” comes from Hamburg: at the end of 2015, as part of two-year project planning, Prof Wolfgang Höppner, founder of the genetic laboratory Bioglobe, outlined the project flow and signed a contract that includes the comprehensive knowledge and technology transfer to Vietnam. In the course of the project, laboratories in Hanoi are to be largely equipped with German technology so that the identifications can be performed in the country itself.
