Ioannis PATRAMANIS

I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Fellow working in the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology at the University of Vienna. I’m originally from Greece, with a BSc in Biology and a MSc in Bioinformatics, both from the University of Crete, followed by a PhD in Palaeoproteomics from the University of Copenhagen. My research interest is in the study of extinct and present day species and populations through molecular data.

I’m particularly interested in human evolution and my work focuses in the bioinformatic analysis of both DNA and protein data, extracted from teeth and bones. My current project is the investigation of bone fragments from Denisova Cave to better understand their protein preservation and informational content.
