Beth Alison Shapiro (born 1976[1]) is an American evolutionary molecular biologist. She is a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator.[2] Shapiro's work has centered on the analysis of ancient DNA.[3][4] She was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2009[1][5] and a Royal Society University Research Fellowship in 2006.[6]

Early life and education

Shapiro was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania on January 14, 1976.[7][8] She grew up in Rome, Georgia, where she served as a local news presenter while attending Rome High School.[9]

She graduated from Rome High School with a GPA of 4.0, and entered the University of Georgia in 1994.[10] She studied Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, English literature, and geology prior to choosing ecology as her major.[8] She graduated summa cum laude in 1999 with BA and MA degrees in ecology.[8][1] The same year, she was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship[9] followed by a Ph.D. from the University of Oxford for research on inferring evolutionary history and processes using ancient DNA supervised by Alan J. Cooper.[11]

Career

Shapiro was appointed a Wellcome Trust Research Fellow at the University of Oxford in 2004.[12] The same year she was appointed director of the Henry Wellcome Biomolecules Centre at Oxford, a position she held until 2007. In 2006, she was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship.[6] While at the Biomolecules Centre, Shapiro carried out mitochondrial DNA analysis of the dodo.[13][14]

Shapiro's research on ecology has been published in leading journals[4] including Molecular Biology and Evolution,[15] PLOS Biology,[16] Science[13][17][18] and Nature.[19][20][21] In 2007, she was named by Smithsonian Magazine as one of 37 young American innovators under the age of 36.[22]

Publications

Her peer reviewed publications in scientific journals[4] and books include:

  • Life as We Made It: How 50,000 years of human innovation refined – and redefined – nature[23]
  • Bayesian coalescent inference of past population dynamics from molecular sequences[15]
  • Rise and fall of the Beringian steppe bison[18]
  • Ancient DNA: Methods and Protocols[24]
  • How to Clone a Mammoth: The Science of De-Extinction[25]
  • Flight of the Dodo[13]
  • A late Pleistocene steppe bison (Bison priscus) partial carcass from Tsiigehtchic, Northwest Territories, Canada[26]
