معرفی
Dr. Martin Kuhlwilm is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology at the Faculty of Life Sciences. His research focuses on population genetics, ancient DNA analysis, and primate genomics. He explores topics such as genetic diversity in great apes, ancient pathogen evolution, and the application of deep learning to population genetic inference. His work contributes to understanding human ancestry, infectious disease history, and conservation genetics.
Key research interests include genomic substructure in bonobos, introgression detection in ancient populations, and viral genome analysis from museum specimens. He has published on methodologies like the SAI Python package for adaptive introgression studies and co-authored reviews on deep learning applications in population genetics. Collaborations span institutions globally, with activities including symposia on ancient genomics and presentations on ghost admixture detection.
His recent work emphasizes enhancing sampling strategies for ancient pathogen DNA (e.g., Plasmodium studies) and curating genomic resources for great apes. While no specific awards are listed, his publications highlight impactful contributions to evolutionary biology and genetics.
