Distinguished Professor of Geological Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder His primary research interests focus on gaining an improved understanding of how the physical Earth system operates. He is specifically interested in using the Quaternary (the last 2.58 million years to the present) as a means to reconstruct the coupled ocean/atmospheric/ice climate system. By reconstructing past environmental changes, it is possible to get a better understanding of the rates and magnitude of natural climate variability and the various feedback mechanisms in the global climate system. He is also interested in the role of humans in the modification of landscapes and ecosystem on Quaternary timescales.
Associate professor, Università di Torino After ten years at the University of York, where she did her PhD and two postdocs in ancient proteins between Archaeology and Chemistry, Beatrice was awarded a position from the Italian Government under the "brain-gain/Rita Levi Montalcini" scheme. She is now an associate professor in "Research Methods for Archaeology" at the Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology, University of Turin. She has a lab for molecular archaeology and palaeontology, focusing especially on palaeoproteomics. Her research and her teaching include both the natural sciences and the humanities (archaeology, anthropology and cultural heritage).
Professor of Palaeoproteomics, University of Cambridge In addition to his post in Cambridge Matthew Collins is professor of Biomolecular Archaeology and the GLOBE Institute, University of Copenhagen. Prior to joining Cambridge Matthew founded BioArCh, a collaboration between the departments of biology, chemistry and archaeology (BioArCh: Biology Archaeology, Chemistry) at the University of York His research focuses on the persistence of proteins in ancient samples, using modelling to explore the racemization of amino acids and thermal history to predict the survival of DNA and other molecules. Using a combination of approaches (including immunology and protein mass spectrometry) his research detects and interprets protein remnants in archaeological and fossil remains.
