Research Interests I am a biological anthropologist whose
research focuses
on human adaptation to environmental stressors, the influence of economic and cultural change on health, and the evolution of human and primate diets. I have active field research projects in northeastern Siberia, the Amazon region of Ecuador, and several locations within the United States. I direct a human biology research laboratory that focuses on the development and application of minimally invasive techniques (e.g., dried blood spots and saliva) for assessing health and physiology in population-based research.

Bones
and Behavior
I'm also a co-organizer (with Susan Antón of NYU) of the Bones and Behavior Working Group, and I manage the website bonesandbehavior.org. Our group is dedicated to fostering a greater synthesis across biological anthropology with the specific aim of developing integrative approaches to research questions concerning human and primate adaptation. (More info). Evolutionary Medicine Group I coordinate the Evolutionary Medicine Group, which is a discussion and project group that meets every other Friday during the academic year to discuss recent research in evolutionary medicine and to develop and pursue collaborative research projects.
