The first paper of my FWF-funded @humevcol.bsky.social project entitled 'Tiny Hopes - Assessing Protein Preservation in Collagen-Depleted Bones' is out! Read now (open access) in the Journal of Proteome Research: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Tiny Hopes─Assessing Protein Preservation in Collagen-Depleted Bones
Understanding human evolution relies on biomolecular data from ancient skeletal tissues, yet warm climates often cause complete collagen loss, excluding many regions from the study. This research inve...

So proud to see our new paper out in PNAS spearheaded by @emilypigott.bsky.social She found a tiny 46,000 yr old Neanderthal bone at Starosele (Crimea). DNA work revealed long-distance connections across Eurasia, supported by stone tool evidence @heasvienna.bsky.social

Forgot to post from ISBA2025 which wrapped up 3 weeks ago. 😶🌫️ Many amazing talks and posters in biomolecular archaeology! I also presented some of the first proteomics results from my HUMEVCOL project ✨

Die frühen Verwandten des Homo sapiens
Was können wir über Neanderthaler oder Denisova-Menschen erfahren? Ein Team in Wien macht Proteine und Fette statt alter DNA für Datierungen nutzbar, die bisher unerforscht waren.

Excited to announce the launch of a new FWF-ESPRIT project, HUMEVCOL: Human Evolution Beyond Collagen. We aim to develop a method to compound radiocarbon date gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (GLA) for dating significant early faunal and Hominin fossils from tropical regions.
