Researchers of HistoGenes: Guido Alberto Gnecchi Ruscone | Max-Planck-Institute, Leipzig

Meet the people working on the project in our video series HistoGenes researchers. Guido Alberto Gnecchi Ruscone is a reasearcher at the Max-Planck-Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. He specialises in human population genomics using modern and ancient DNA to reconstruct the demographic history of past populations and to search for genetic patterns caused by positive selection and adaptation to the environment. He is particularly interested in trans-Eurasian population movements and intercultural interactions between Europe, the Steppes and East Asia from the Iron Age to the Middle Ages. At HistoGenes, in addition to participating in the research projects as a postdoctoral researcher, he is involved with the Leipzig team in the bioinformatic processing of the raw genomic data, performing quality control and genotype data production for the ancient DNA samples that will be sequenced as part of the project.
