Marianne Dehasque

Marianne Dehasque serves as a Grant Holder within the Department of Organismal Biology; Human Evolution at Uppsala University, specializing in paleogenomic research with emphasis on extinct and endangered species. Her work bridges evolutionary biology and conservation science through advanced genomic methodologies.

Her research focuses on reconstructing evolutionary histories using ancient DNA, particularly examining megafauna like mammoths and endangered ungulates such as mouflons. Key methodologies include mitogenome analysis and population genomic modeling to understand speciation events, extinction drivers, and anthropogenic impacts across millennia. This work provides critical insights for modern conservation strategies through deep-time evolutionary perspectives.

Dr. Dehasque's recent publications demonstrate significant interdisciplinary impact, with her mammoth genomics study generating coverage across 18 news outlets and 91 Bluesky references, while her mouflon research has been incorporated into Wikipedia and cited by multiple academic platforms. Her work consistently addresses urgent questions in biodiversity preservation through historical genomic lenses.
