Lauren Clark is the manager of the ancient biomolecules lab at the American Museum of Natural History. In this role, she supports researchers interested in paleogenomic and paleoproteomic techniques while maintaining a clean environment within the lab to limit contamination from human and bacterial sources. Lauren has broadly used genetic methods to determine the identification of archaeological and museological materials ranging from archaeological ungulates of the Rockies to cochineal beetles collected in the early 1900’s.
