Maja Birk Søtofte

Maja Birk Søtofte is an Academic Researcher at the Globe Institute within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. She is affiliated with the Section for Molecular Ecology and Evolution and can be contacted via email (maja.lunn@sund.ku.dk) or phone (+4535330701).

Her research centers on genetic mechanisms underlying phenotypic traits, with expertise in human and population genetics. Specializing in molecular ecology and evolutionary biology, she investigates gene-phenotype relationships such as eye color variation through SNP analysis in genes like TYR and TYRP1.

Dr. Søtofte contributes to the Section for Molecular Ecology and Evolution, focusing on interdisciplinary studies bridging genetic variation with evolutionary processes. Her work emphasizes molecular techniques to decode complex trait inheritance in human populations.
