Marie-Louise Kampmann

Marie-Louise Kampmann serves as a Researcher and Special Consultant in the Section of Forensic Genetics at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Her research focuses on advanced DNA sequencing methodologies and their forensic applications, with expertise in next-generation sequencing and epigenetic analysis.

Her educational background includes:

• PhD in Molecular techniques for characterisation of pathogens from Centre for GeoGenetics, University of Copenhagen (2013)
• Master of Science in Engineering in Biotechnology with medical microbiology specialization from Technical University of Denmark (2010)
• Master of Science in Life Sciences from Technical University of Delft, Netherlands (2009)
• Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Biotechnology from Technical University of Denmark (2008)

Dr. Kampmann specializes in sequencing methods including NGS, SGS, MPS, and HTS, with particular expertise in epigenetics and molecular capture techniques for analyzing minute DNA/RNA quantities. Her work bridges forensic science, genetics, and molecular biology, developing methods to isolate target DNA from complex mixtures.

Analysis of her publication record reveals a strong trend toward methodological development for forensic DNA analysis, with recent work focusing on validation protocols, epigenetic biomarkers, and applications of NGS in challenging sample types. Her research spans forensic identification, relationship testing, wildlife disease monitoring, and epigenetic age estimation.

Dr. Kampmann remains actively engaged in academic discourse, presenting on shotgun sequencing analyses and CpG methylation panels for age estimation in 2024. Her research has garnered attention across multiple platforms, with work referenced in patents and covered by news outlets.
