Personlig profil

Kort præsentation

Professor Tom Gilbert is the director of the Danish National Research Foundation Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics as well as the group leader of the Hologenomics group at the GLOBE Institute. The Center and his wider Group study life through the hologenomic window – that is embracing the concept that it is impossible to understand the genetic basis of life without viewing it as the union of hosts and their microbiomes.

Academic Contributions
I am an academic editor of two journals, PLoS ONE, and, Archaeological and Anthropological Science. I also routinely act as an ad hoc reviewer to a wide range of journals, including Science, Nature, PNAS, PLoS Biology, Molecular Biology and Evolution, Journal of Archaeological Sciences, Biology Letters, Current Biology, Nature Reviews Genetics and American Journal of Physical Anthropology.

Teaching
I teach a lecture course on Ancient DNA at the Universities of Oxford and Gotland. At the University of Copenhagen, I teach on three courses, ‘Evolutionary Medicine’, ‘Origins’, and ‘Ancient DNA and Evolution’.

Supervision
I have supervised a number of Postdoctoral Researchers, PhD students and MSc students, the latter at both the Universities of Copenhagen, Arizona and Oxford. I currently have a research group containing 3 Postdoctoral researchers, 3 PhD students and 8 MSc students.
