معرفی
Imke Tara Lankheet is a Researcher at the Department of Organismal Biology at Uppsala University, specializing in Human Evolution. Her work focuses on African population structure, ancient DNA analysis, and mitochondrial genetics. She is affiliated with the Human Evolution research group within the department.
Her research interests include genomic and proteomic approaches to understand human migration patterns, genetic diversity in African populations, and the application of SNP arrays in mitochondrial haplogroup assignment. She has contributed to studies on male-biased migration in southern Africa and ancestry contributions in South African Coloured groups.
Lankheet's recent publications (2021-2024) emphasize interdisciplinary methods combining genetics with anthropology to explore evolutionary questions. Her 2024 doctoral thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of African population structures using multi-omics approaches.
She has collaborated on educational outreach through videos explaining ancient DNA lab techniques. While no awards are explicitly listed, her work is referenced in Wikipedia and widely shared on academic platforms like Mendeley.
