DESCRIPTION:This talk explores how emerging biomolecular techniques might t
 ransform our ability to reconstruct the history of infectious disease in p
 ast populations. While ancient DNA has provided important insights into th
 e presence of specific pathogens\, it is limited to detecting certain infe
 ctions at or near the time of death. By integrating palaeoproteomics with 
 ancient genomics\, my work aims to move beyond pathogen detection toward a
  more complete understanding of individual disease histories. I will outli
 ne the methodological challenges of detecting and authenticating ancient p
 athogen and immune proteins and propose next steps in the development of t
 his field.\nSpeaker: Christiana Scheib
