@ipatramanis.bsky.social
Postdoctoral Researcher at Globe, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

I'm mostly interested in human history and evolution, but also more general: Bioinformatics, Population genetics, Phylogenetics, aDNA, Simulation tools and Palaeoproteomics.

Are you interested in doing a PhD in Copenhagen? Interested in studying Neanderthals and Denisovans which live on in our genomes?
Than you are more than welcome to apply to join my group starting Jan 2026 :)

The Paranthropus paper is out! :D
See the post from Palesa for a quick summary.

Although technically small in scale (4 specimens🦷), this work took many years and many people to complete...

Excited to see how the results we show will be applied to future sample sets, now that we know what works!
Hello,

Our paper on enamel proteins from Paranthropus robustus has finally been peer reviewed, please have a read here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Paranthropus robustus has been puzzling scientists since its discovery in 1938 in South Africa, where a high number of fossils have been found.
Enamel proteins reveal biological sex and genetic variability in southern African Paranthropus
Paranthropus robustus is a morphologically well-documented Early Pleistocene hominin species from southern Africa with no genetic evidence reported so far. In this work, we describe the mass spectrome...

We’ve released a preprint on #palaeoproteomics and #phylogenetics !

Over the years, I’ve gotten multiple questions on the usefulness of ancient proteins in resolving phylogenetic questions. This is our attempt to provide some answers:

Assessing the potential of ancient protein sequences in the study of hominid evolution
Palaeoproteomic data can provide invaluable insights into hominid evolution over long timescales. Yet, the potential and limitations of ancient protein sequences to resolve evolutionary relations betw...

Sequencing of ancient proteins is the only viable methodology today for retrieving the genetic data required to resolve evolutionary relations between vertebrate species that disappeared millions of years ago.
