Abstract
Prof. Dr. Johannes Krause established the ancient DNA research group at the University of Tubingen in 2010. He applies cutting-edge techniques of high throughput DNA sequencing and targeted DNA enrichment to analyse fossil DNA from human remains. In this talk, Johannes will present his genome-wide analysis of historical pathogens and discuss the insights into the evolution of infectious disease, which help us to identify causative agents of major human pandemics.
