Per Jensen is a Professor Emeritus at Linköping University, specializing in Ethology with a focus on animal behavior, welfare, genetics, and epigenetics. His research primarily explores domestication and animal welfare, particularly concerning chickens and dogs. Over the years, he has shifted his research focus, initially concentrating on the natural behavior of pigs and later transitioning to the genetic and epigenetic aspects of behavior as influenced by domestication. Jensen leads a robust research group that collaborates extensively with domestic pet owners and oversees a breeding population of red junglefowl, the wild ancestors of chickens, allowing for comparative genetic studies. He has coordinated significant research networks in animal welfare science and has collaborated with prominent researchers in genetics, behavior, and neurobiology. Jensen has a storied career with over 200 published peer-reviewed papers and has been involved in academia as an editor, member of various committees, and has delivered numerous invited talks at international conferences.
