Svante Pääbo is a Sweden-born Germany-based scientist and geneticist. He came to the limelight on 3 October 2022 after he won the Noble Prize for his research work in Physiology or Medicine.Svante Pääbo worked as a teacher and a part-time researcher in 1979 at the University of California.In 1980, he left the University of California and went back to Sweden to pursue a PhD in Molecular Biology at the University of Uppsala.After completing his PhD, in 1986, Svante Pääbo authored many research papers in which he attempted to establish a common link between the genetic structure of the Homo Sapiens (modern humans) and several different types of ancient human types.Reportedly, his 1986 scientific journal “Molecular genetic investigations of ancient human remains” has been cited by researchers in more than 75 research papers.In 1986, he went to Switzerland, where he undertook post-doctoral research in Molecular Biology and published several research papers like “Molecular genetic methods in archaeology – a prospect,” “Is allograft rejection a clue to the mechanism promoting MHC polymorphism?” and “A short sequence in the COOH-terminus makes an adenovirus membrane glycoprotein a resident of the endoplasmic reticulum.”.After completing his post-doctoral research in 1987, Svante worked for a few months as a researcher at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London.After leaving the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in 1987, Svante undertook another post-doctoral research in DNA Research at the University of California’s Department of Biochemistry.In 1990, he joined the University of Uppsala, where he taught Medical Genetics. After a few years, he left the University of Uppsala and shifted to Germany, where he worked at the University of Munich till 1997.In 1997, after leaving the University of Munich, Svante began working at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, where he founded the Department of Evolutionary Biology and became the director of the department.
