This proved so successful that it became the international standard in forensic technology. As a result of this police work was brought into a new era of scientific analysis of evidence. In 1965, it was decided that the laboratory would be moved from University grounds and became the State Forensic Science Laboratory, run by the state public service. Scroggie declined a position as Director and instead joined the newly formed Leather Research Group at the CSIRO. At the Leather Research Group Scroggie led research aimed at modernising Australia's out-dated tanning industry and did this by focussing on development of more efficient and environmentally sound production techniques. 1952 1952 Education - Bachelor of Science, University of Melbourne 1954 1954 Education - Masters of Science with Honours (MSc(Hons)) in Organic Chemistry, University of Melbourne c. 1954 c. 1958 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), on ICIANZ Research Fellowship, Chemistry Department, University of Melbourne 1956 1965 Career position - Deputy Director of the Forensic Science Laboratory, Pathology Department of the University of Melbourne 1965 1987 Career position - Employed at the CSIRO Leather Research Group Scroggie, James Gilbert (19320326-)
