My lab uses molecular tools–genomics, metagenomics, and proteomics–to answer anthropological questions.
Molecular primatology
- Primate adaptation to changing and hostile environments
- Population genomics of free-ranging primates
- Primate gut microbial ecology
Anthropology of fermented and preserved foods
- Microbial ecology of food fermentation
- Biocultural interaction of humans and the foods we produce
Development of new methods for non-invasive molecular ecology
- fecalFACS
- Scat detection dogs
