Misheelt Bayarsaikhan

We’ve got a new lab member—YAAAAAYY!!! 🎉 Today, we’re excited to welcome Misheelt Bayarsaikhan, a recent graduate from the Institute of Archaeology at the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, who’s joining us as a postbac researcher. Misheelt will dive into all things ancient DNA, working on extracting and sequencing DNA from hundreds of sediment samples collected across various archaeological sites in Mongolia. We’re so happy to see our team growing, and having Misheelt on board definitely brings fresh perspectives to our work on the evolutionary history of humans in Eastern Eurasia. Let’s get to work, team! 🙌

Happy New Year!
