Nobel Symposia public talks

Seminar

Time: 10.00 – 12.30

Location: Aula Magna, Stockholm University

CPG, The Centre for Palaeogenetics, is hosting two very exciting Nobel Symposia public talks on May 30th in Aula Magna. These events are open to the public and no registration is required.

The lecture by Ludovic Orlando will focus on the origins of the domestic horse, and the other one by Beth Shapiro will focus on the possibility to resurrect the woolly mammoth.

Beth Shapiro:
Professor Beth Shapiro is internationally recognized for her work in ancient DNA. As a professor at UC Santa Cruz, she has led research that has significantly advanced our understanding of species evolution. In 2024, she was hired as Chief Science Officer at Colossal Biosciences, where she leads the company’s efforts in de-extincting species. Shapiro is a MacArthur Fellow, a member of the the US National Academy of Sciences, and the author of the acclaimed book "How to Clone a Mammoth".

Ludovic Orlando:
Professor Ludovic Orlando is a leading researcher in the field of palaeogenetics, with a particular focus on horse domestication. He is the founder and director of the Centre for Anthropobiology and Genomics in Toulouse, and his groundbreaking research has been published across a broad array of top scientific journals. In recognition of his significant contributions, he was awarded the CNRS Silver Medal in France in 2023.

Hope to see you there!
