Täna on suur päev! #MinuGeenivaramu teadusportaal on lõpuks avatud kõigile geenidoonoritele 🥳 portaal.geenidoonor.ee

This summer we had the pleasure of hosting the Archaeogenetics module with our aDNA team of genomicstartu University of Tartu within the OCSEAN Summer School. Such diverse topics, such great people! ocsean.eu/post/ocsean-su…

The new academic year begins with good news! Together with Baltic and EU partners, we are starting a new EU project, Twinning ECHO (2024-2027), with the archaeogenomics research group at the University of Tartu genomicstartu cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101…

Happy to share our most recent GWAS meta-analysis of 249 circulating metabolic biomarkers (Nightingale Health platform) in up to 619,372 individuals. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Proud of Imke Lankheet delivering a great thesis defense today! Thank you to Kristiina Tambets for giving Imke the opportunity to showcase her knowledge in engaging discussions!

Please join us for the Welcome Connecting Science conference on "Human Evolution - from fossils to ancient and modern genomes". Many exciting speakers from the various disciplines investigating the human past. Looking forward to meetup at the Welcome Genome Campus next year!

Abstract submission for ISBA11 is now open! We look foward to all your submissions isba11.com/abstract-submi… #Archaeology #Biomoleculararchaeology #ISBA #ISBA11 #ISBAconference #archaeologists

Very happy to share the results of my Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions project done at UCL Genetics Institute with Mark Thomas and Pontus Skoglund from The Francis Crick Institute. We used ancient DNA to reveal remarkably high genetic diversity in the region of modern-day Ukraine / Україна over the last 3,500 years until ~500 years ago.

🚀 The #EASIGEN-DS project has officially kicked-off! EASIGEN-DS is an EU-funded initiative bringing together 17 members and associated partners to design a Research Infrastructure on Advanced Genomics Technologies. 🧬 #Genomics #HorizonEU (1/6)

We live free here in #Estonia 🇪🇪 thanks to brave men and women who stood up to tyranny and declared all peoples have the right to self-determination. That’s why on Estonian Independence Day, as every day, we #StandWithUkraine. Got a moment? Let us tell you a story. 🧵

Save the Date! 📅 24th International Gene Forum takes place Sept 9–10 2025 in Tartu 🇪🇪 🧬Welcome to the premier #genetics & #genomics conference in the Baltics. More info: geneforum.ee Registration for #GeneForum2025 opens soon—stay tuned!

81 years ago, on March 9, 1944, the Soviet Union bombed Nazi-occupied Tallinn 🇪🇪. The supposed target? The enemy. The real cost? Hundreds of Estonian lives, a devastated city, and a clear message – Moscow never cared about “liberation,” only destruction.

Last chance to apply for this amazing funded PhD position in the Netherlands! If you're interested in ancient dna or cutting edge ecology research, take a look!
