Thomaz Pinotti

Thomaz Pinotti is a Research Fellow at the Section for Geogenetics within the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen. His research focuses on ancient DNA analysis, population genetics, and the intersection of genetics with linguistic anthropology and historical studies.

Dr. Pinotti's research interests span archaeogenetics, human evolution, and paleogenomics, with particular emphasis on understanding population movements and historical events through genetic analysis. His work frequently combines genetic data with archaeological evidence and linguistic theories to provide comprehensive insights into human history across multiple continents and time periods.

His publication record reveals a strong focus on using ancient genomic data to explore connections between population migrations and language spread, particularly regarding Indo-European language families. He has made significant contributions to understanding Native American population continuity, European prehistory through Steppe migrations, and historical disease patterns including plague infections in Neolithic communities.

Dr. Pinotti has established extensive collaborative networks, as evidenced by the large international author lists on his publications, with frequent co-authorship with prominent researchers including Eske Willerslev. His work in high-impact journals like Nature demonstrates both methodological rigor and significant historical insights.
