Details

Professor Ludovic Orlando, HDR, PhD, Agrégé, Normalien, Director, Centre for Anthropobiology & Genomics of Toulouse, CAGT, Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse III, France, is one of the world’s leading scientists who study ancient DNA. His book, Horses, helped “rewrite the genomic history of horse domestication. Horses: A 4,000-Year Genetic Journey Across the World takes you behind the scenes of this ambitious genealogical investigation, revealing how he and an international team of scientists discovered the elusive origins of modern horses.” He and his wife, Andaine Seguin-Orlando, Associate Professor in Palaeogenomics, will be available for a small group dinner as part of the Messenger Lecture visit.
