Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristine Ewers is a marine evolution and genomics specialist with 11+ years of research experience, now leading a section at the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change. She holds a PhD in Genetics from the University of Georgia and has driven museomics work since 2018, pioneering genomic sequencing of historical invertebrate collections to reveal anthropogenic impacts and to reintegrate rare or extinct taxa into phylogenetic studies. Her background spans postdoctoral roles in Germany and the US and deep taxonomic expertise in barnacles, crabs and other marine invertebrates dating to 2009. Curious and problem-oriented, she combines field and collection-based taxonomy with cutting-edge population genomics to answer both evolutionary and conservation questions. Unusually for a genomicist, she leverages museum specimens to bridge temporal gaps in datasets, enabling insights into past biodiversity that inform present-day management.
