The Swiss Mummy Project (SMP) is a research project based at the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine (IEM), University of Zurich, and utilizes cutting-edge scientific methods to examine ancient mummies from diverse cultural and geographical origins. With a rigorous interdisciplinary approach, this project is dedicated to illuminating and decoding the complex patterns of human disease evolution, the manifold dimensions of human variation, and the health-related societal and cultural practices of past civilizations.
