Claus Børsting started his academic career as a molecular biologist with a special focus on biotechnology. He completed his MSc and PhD studies at Odense University in Denmark, where he worked with basic molecular biology techniques involving DNA, RNA, and protein analyses, utilizing S. cerevisiae as a test organism and working extensively with E. coli. In 2001, Claus was employed as a Forensic Geneticist in the Section of Forensic Genetics at the Department of Forensic Medicine, University of Copenhagen. He was involved in reporting for paternity and immigration case work. Claus became a central figure in the research group formed within the Section of Forensic Genetics, participating in the EU-sponsored SNP ID consortium from 2002 to 2006. He was appointed as Assistant Professor in 2004 and has since contributed significantly to the field, co-authoring over 20 scientific papers and book chapters that explore the use of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in forensic genetics. In 2010, he assumed the position of Senior Advisor and in 2018 became a Senior Researcher, focusing on the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods in forensic genetics. Claus has experience with major NGS platforms including Ion Torrent (ThermoFisher) and MiSeq (Illumina).
