معرفی
Camilla Speller is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. She specializes in biomolecular archaeology, focusing on ancient DNA and proteomics to study human-animal relationships in prehistory. Her work includes groundbreaking research on North American turkey domestication and historic whale exploitation. She currently directs the Ancient DNA and Proteins (ADαPT) Facility.
Education:
- BA in Archaeology & Biological Anthropology, University of Calgary
- MA & PhD (2009) in Archaeology, Simon Fraser University
Research Interests:
Dr. Speller combines cutting-edge biomolecular techniques like ZooMS and ancient genomics to investigate subsistence strategies, domestication processes, and environmental interactions. Her studies bridge archaeology with genetics, providing insights into prehistoric diets, trade networks, and ecological changes.
Awards & Fellowships:
- SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship (2010)
- Marie Curie EU-IIF Fellowship (2012–2018)
Labs & Facilities:
She leads the ADαPT Facility, which specializes in ancient biomolecular analysis, offering state-of-the-art resources for collagen fingerprinting and genomic studies.
