Biography

Jenny Hagenblad is a Senior Associate Professor specializing in the analysis of genetic data using evolutionary population genetic methods to study the evolutionary history of species. Her research focuses on crop plants, which are of utmost importance for human sustenance and have undergone rapid evolution since domestication. She examines the spread of crop plants from their origin through historical seed exchange, and explores how they have adapted to climate change during agricultural expansion into novel environments. Dr. Hagenblad completed her PhD in the Department of Genetics at Lund University, followed by postdoctoral positions at Edinburgh University and Uppsala University. She has held an Assistant Professorship at Uppsala University and an Associate Professorship at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. Dr. Hagenblad teaches courses related to her research interests, serving as a primary instructor and examiner for courses in Genetics, Evolutionary Biology, and Chemical Biology, as well as delivering lectures on Population Genetics and Molecular Genetics.
