Xihan Chen

Xihan Chen is a Researcher at the Section for Geogenetics within the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in ancient DNA analysis and evolutionary studies. The Section for Geogenetics focuses on reconstructing historical ecological processes through genomic investigation of ancient environmental samples.

Chen's research centers on Paleogenomics and Environmental Genomics, with specific expertise in analyzing temporal adaptation patterns using ancient DNA. Their work investigates how species like stickleback fish genetically responded to environmental shifts during the Pleistocene epoch, contributing to broader understanding of evolutionary mechanisms in changing ecosystems.

Recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on genomic chronology of adaptation, particularly in freshwater ecosystems, bridging Genomics and Environmental Science. This research utilizes advanced ancient DNA sequencing to track evolutionary timelines with high precision.

No scientific awards are documented in available sources.

Information regarding student supervision and research funding remains unspecified in current records.

Chen operates within the collaborative framework of the Section for Geogenetics, working alongside interdisciplinary teams integrating bioinformatics, paleontology, and ecological modeling to advance ancient environmental genomics.
