Theis Zetner Trolle Jensen

Theis Zetner Trolle Jensen is a Researcher at the Section for Molecular Ecology and Evolution within the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen. His work focuses on applying molecular techniques to archaeological questions, particularly using ancient DNA and paleoproteomics to address historical population dynamics and evolutionary questions.

His research interests center on ancient DNA analysis, paleogenomics, and archaeological science, with specific expertise in ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry) and biomolecular analysis of ancient remains. His work spans multiple disciplines including molecular ecology, evolutionary biology, and population genetics, with a particular focus on European prehistory.

Jensen has contributed to several high-impact publications in Nature, PLoS ONE, and Current Biology, with research spanning from Neolithic Denmark to ancient wildcat domestication patterns. His methodological contributions include developing streamlined paleoproteomics workflows that enable analysis of extremely ancient samples.

His collaborative research network is extensive, with co-authorship on major population genomics studies involving dozens of international researchers. He has presented his work at significant conferences including the Tenth International Conference on the Mesolithic in Europe.
