Noemi Procopio is Professor of Forensic Sciences at the University of Lancashire, UK, originally from Sommariva del Bosco in Italy.[1] Procopio is notable for her work in taphonomy and decomposition, in particular applying proteomics to the study of bone proteins in estimating age and time of death,[2][3][4][5] including for submerged corpses.[6] In 2019, Procopio was awarded a Future Leaders Fellowship by UK Research and Innovation, for her project Forens-OMICS: a cross disciplinary implementation of omics sciences to in vivo and post-mortem ageing investigations for forensic applications.[7] Since 2023 she is Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. In 2024 she has been appointed Program Chair of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, Pathology/Biology Section, and in 2025 she has been appointed Section Secretary of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, Pathology/Biology Section. In 2026 she has been appointed Section Chair of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, Pathology/Biology Section. She is also the Co-Chair of the International Affairs Committee of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences since 2025.
