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
