Sanne Boessenkool (born June 21, 1979) is an evolutionary biologist, and head of education, who works at the Department of Biosciences at the University of Oslo.[1]
Education[edit]
Boessenkool received her M.S. from the University of Groningen in 2005 and her Ph.D.[2] in 2009 from the University of Otago. She did post-doctoral research with Christian Brochmann at the Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo.
Research[edit]
Boessenkool is known for her population genomics studies on marine seabirds, for instance the yellow-eyed penguin.[3] During her Ph.D., she discovered a previously unknown species of penguin, the Waitaha penguin,[4][5][6] which went extinct soon after Polynesian settlers arrived in New Zealand.[7]
She has further sequenced the genome of the Atlantic puffin,[8] investigated their genetic structure[9][10] and identified recent, 20th century hybridization of puffins in the high Arctic.[11][12]
She is the head of the ancient DNA laboratory in Oslo[13] used and also works on sedimentary ancient DNA[14] from caves[15][16][17] and lake sediments.[18] She was the first to employ sedimentary ancient DNA to investigate past biodiversity in high alpine lakes in the African tropics.[19] The core of her research focuses on the evolutionary and ecological processes that drive population and species distributions over spatial and temporal scales and the human impact on the environment causing distributional shifts in animals and plants.
Awards[edit]
In 2016 she was the recipient of the Darwin Prize for oustanding research in evolutionary biology, awarded by the Department of Biosciences at the University of Oslo.[20]
Personal life[edit]
Boessenkool has three children.
