- Mark Chernyshev is the new postdoctoral researcher in the Jakobsson LabWe are happy to announce that Mark Chernyshev has recently joined the team as a bioinformatician researcher in population genetics. He studies ancient and modern population demography using whole-genome sequencing datasets and develops tools using Markov models. Mark has earned his PhD from Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm for his work on Computational approaches to study… Read more: Mark Chernyshev is the new postdoctoral researcher in the Jakobsson Lab
- Post-fieldwork in Philippines – impressionsMax Larena and Mariam Omar Gómez visited the Philippines this summer. Mariam was travelling around, meeting collaborators, collecting DNA data and immersing in the languages and cultures of the region she focuses on in her PhD work.
- It’s not really a goodbye, Tina!Tina Saupe, a postdoctoral fellow at the Human Evolution Program and the Jakobsson Lab since March 2023, leaves our group this summer. Tina received the postdoctoral fellowship from Wenner-Gren Foundations in Sweden to study mobility in the Levant during the Bronze Age period (Bronze Age Rake project, 2023-25). She has also worked on the ERC-funded… Read more: It’s not really a goodbye, Tina!
- He traces the genetic history of modern humansThe Knut & Alice Wallenberg Foundation has just published an update on the research by Mattias Jakobsson, one of the KAW scholars. Mattias Jakobsson’s focus in his new Wallenberg Scholar project is to track the development that occurred between 300,000 and 600,000 years ago, following the genetic line that leads to modern humans. The material… Read more: He traces the genetic history of modern humans
- HEPpers Outing 2025This year, the Human Evolution Program (HEP) group visited Stora Fjäderholmen during our annual outing. The highlight was playing Boule (also known as Petanque). After several rounds and point counting, we know who can hit the bull’s eye! We were lucky with the weather, too!
