Morten Allentoft is a professor in evolutionary genomics and biodiversity. He leads the Trace and Environmental DNA (TrEnD) Laboratory at Curtin University in Australia but maintains a fractional affiliation with Globe Institute at University of Copenhagen. He obtained a MSc from the University of Copenhagen in 2007 and a PhD from Canterbury University (New Zealand) in 2011. He has a background in ancient DNA research working primarily on population genetics of extinct megafauna and ancient humans, and ancient DNA method development. Most of his current research evolve around understanding patterns of past and present biodiversity on our planet – often with a conservation focus and a particular interest in reptiles and amphibians. He established the Herpetology summer course which he runs every summer at Globe Institute.
