Where to Study biotechnology?

Is the study of determining time of death related to biotechnology?

• I have to write a paper about any topic related to biotechnology, and the study of determining the time of death of a cadaver interests me. Does this have enough to do with biotechnology, or is it mainly just biology?

• Answer:

  There are several methods used, depending on how long ago the death occurred. Body temperature. The temp of a body reverts to "room temperature" (ambient) over a period of several hours. Insects: Certain insects are attracted to a dead body, depending on how long it has been dead. Then the development of insect larva can determine time of death depending on the larval development. Decomposition: The rate at which a body decomposes under different conditions is well known to the authorities.
