Pere Gelabert

Pere Gelabert is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology at the Faculty of Life Sciences. His research focuses on ancient DNA analysis, population genetics, and interdisciplinary studies of human evolution and prehistoric societies. He has been involved in major projects such as 'Unveiling the Shadows: Illuminating Late Pleistocene Human-Carnivore Interactions in Europe' and 'Social genomics in Late Antique and Early-Medieval societies'.

No educational background information is explicitly provided in the text.

His research interests include:

• Analysis of ancient DNA to reconstruct population structures and ancestry
• Investigations into Late Pleistocene human-animal dynamics and hunter-gatherer societies
• Genomic studies of Neandertals and other hominin species
• Applications of sedimentary DNA (sedaDNA) in archaeological contexts
• Genetic epidemiology of ancient pathogens like Plasmodium
• Interdisciplinary approaches combining genomics with bioarchaeology

He has received notable awards including:

• HEAS Seed Grant (2022)
• PCA Best Article 2020
• Prize for 'Social genomics in Late Antique and Early-Medieval societies' (2023)

While no formal advisees are listed, his research projects indicate leadership in academic grants. Grants include two active research funding projects focusing on Pleistocene human-carnivore interactions and social genomics in historical societies.

His work involves collaborations across institutions and continents, with a focus on archaeological sites and museum collections. He regularly presents findings at scientific conferences and public lectures, including recent talks on sedaDNA applications and Neandertal site cataloging.
