Biografi
I am an Associate Professor at the Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen. My interest is to understand human evolution via the development and application of ancient biomolecular methods, in particular by analysing ancient proteins. My research utilizes mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics to extract and analyse ancient protein sequences from ancient human and fauna samples spanning several continents and the last 1 million years. My current research focuses on the recovery and MS-based analysis of fauna and hominin proteins recovered from skeletal tissues. I have a particular interest in studying the evolutionary relationships between extinct hominins via ancient protein analysis and exploring their behaviour through studying associated fauna remains and zooarchaeological datasets.
