Kristine Bohmann

Kristine Bohmann is an Associate Professor in the Section for Molecular Ecology and Evolution at the Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen. Her research focuses on environmental DNA applications for biodiversity monitoring and ecological studies across marine and terrestrial ecosystems.

Dr. Bohmann's research interests span environmental DNA methodologies, ancient DNA analysis, and biodiversity monitoring. She specializes in developing and applying molecular techniques to study ecosystem changes over time, with particular emphasis on marine environments and vertebrate communities. Her work combines cutting-edge genomic approaches with ecological theory to address questions about historical biodiversity patterns and human impacts on ecosystems.

Bohmann's recent publications demonstrate a strong methodological focus on advancing environmental DNA techniques for ecological monitoring. Her research particularly emphasizes applications in marine environments, historical ecosystem reconstruction, and innovative sampling approaches including airborne eDNA and invertebrate-derived DNA. These studies often involve interdisciplinary collaborations across multiple institutions and countries, reflecting the cross-disciplinary nature of modern ecological research.

• PhD prize (2015)
• Sapere Aude Research Talent Award (2016)

Dr. Bohmann has been active in research dissemination through public lectures including 'Videnskabsgalla 2018: På DNA-jagt efter liv i Loch Ness-søen' and 'Vin & Videnskab: Fra Zoologisk Have til Madagaskar'. Her research has attracted significant attention in both academic circles and broader media outlets, with multiple publications receiving substantial citations and news coverage.

As part of the Globe Institute's research ecosystem, Dr. Bohmann contributes to a dynamic environment focused on understanding ecological and evolutionary processes through molecular approaches. Her work connects with broader initiatives studying environmental change and biodiversity conservation, particularly through the application of innovative DNA-based monitoring techniques.
