Sascha Dreyer Nielsen is an Academic employee at the Section for Hologenomics within the Globe Institute, part of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. Her research focuses on genomic studies of marine mammals, particularly beaked whales in deep-sea environments.
Her primary research interests include Genomics, Marine Biology, Evolutionary Biology, Cetacean Research, Population Genetics, and Biogeography. She utilizes advanced genomic techniques to investigate population structure, speciation events, and biodiversity patterns in cetaceans, with emphasis on deep-sea ecosystems and host-microbe interactions through hologenomic approaches.
Recent publications demonstrate her contributions to understanding hierarchical population genomic structures in beaked whales and the discovery of new species through integrated genomic-morphological analysis. These works reveal trends in marine conservation genomics, highlighting international collaborative efforts to address biodiversity loss and evolutionary processes in understudied deep-sea habitats.
Dr. Nielsen operates within the Section for Hologenomics research framework at the Globe Institute, which specializes in studying host-microbiome interactions across diverse ecosystems. This team employs interdisciplinary methodologies connecting genomics, ecology, and evolutionary biology to investigate complex biological systems in marine and terrestrial environments.
