Max Emil Ermter Ramsøe

Max Emil Ermter Ramsøe is an Academic employee at the Section for Geogenetics within the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen. His research focuses on applying biomolecular techniques to archaeological and cultural heritage materials, with an active publication record from 2023-2025.

Dr. Ramsøe's research interests span across several interdisciplinary fields:

• Palaeoproteomics - the study of ancient proteins to understand biological and cultural processes
• Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) for species identification in archaeological contexts
• Archaeological science applications to cultural heritage objects and materials
• Stable isotope analysis for provenance and ecological studies
• Development of streamlined methodologies for ancient biomolecule analysis

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on applying cutting-edge biomolecular techniques to diverse archaeological materials ranging from Egyptian mummy masks to medieval wax seals and ancient bone samples. His work often involves international collaborations across Europe and addresses fundamental questions in archaeology, environmental history, and cultural heritage science, with several papers receiving significant attention including coverage by 27 news outlets for his research on seagrass meadows supporting turtle populations.

Dr. Ramsøe has established a robust research profile with multiple publications in high-impact journals including Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Heritage Science, and Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, demonstrating both methodological innovation and substantive contributions to understanding past human-environment interactions.
