overview My group's research interests span questions and applications in multiple fields, including population genetics/genomics, anthropology, archaeology, and medical genetics. The big question driving our research is: ‘How have demographic, cultural, and environmental factors contributed over time to shaping the genetic profiles of present-day human populations?’ In order to address specific research questions embedded within this overarching goal, we use a combined approach that brings together genome-scale data from present-day and ancient humans and their biotic environment, especially domesticates and pathogens. Through the implementation of multiple complementary projects set within the global context, our research will ultimately contribute towards the understanding of the evolutionary mechanisms that underlie adaptations and diseases among human populations.
