This week we introduce Pedro Coxito.
Pedro background is on biochemistry and he has worked in bioenergetics and metabolism research.
Within the MATRIXERC StG project, he is responsible for managing lab logistics, creating lab experimental protocols and he also does some analytical work.

MatrixERC StG works across archaeological sites from all over Europe, following the microscopic traces of late Neandertals and the first modern humans. We study intact sediment samples, checking whether the archaeological layers are truly preserved and looking for ancient DNA, proteins, and lipids.

We worked hard in 2025, will be super busy in 2026 and you will hear all about it.

For now, we are ready for a break and wish you all the best of holidays!
