معرفی
Dr. Karis Baker is a Researcher in the Department of Biosciences at Durham University, currently serving as a Visitor. Her work focuses on conservation genetics and population genetics, particularly in deer species. She leads an AHRC-funded project, 'Dama International: Fallow Deer and European Society,' which investigates the origins and movements of fallow deer through genetic analysis of ancient and modern DNA. This interdisciplinary project collaborates with the Archaeology department at the University of Nottingham. Her research also explores the historical and cultural significance of deer species in Europe, combining biomolecular data with archaeological evidence.
Her past research included a PhD on British roe deer population genetics, examining bottlenecks and reintroduction impacts. She has published extensively on deer genetics, conservation strategies, and evolutionary biology. Baker actively engages with public outreach through articles in journals like Deer, explaining scientific concepts to broader audiences.
Awards: None explicitly mentioned in the text. However, her research has been supported by prestigious grants such as AHRC funding.
