![]() Profile:
I'm a
biological anthropologist specializing in
anthropological genetics. My research is focused on the
relationship between biological variation, cultural practices, and the
environment. My primary research area is anthropological
genetics. In this research, I use statistical genetics methods to
investigate the genetic and
environmental factors that influence human variation, including
variation in disease risk.
My current research is focused on the genetic and environmental factors that influence type 2 diabetes risk in American Indians, a population that is disproportionately affected by this disease. Other aspects of human variation that I have investigated include human handedness, and risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Most of my genetics research uses data from families, and methods that can be applied to investigations of a variety of normal and disease traits. In addition to my human variation research, I use faunal skeletal biology and paleopathology to examine the prehistory of human-animal interactions. My research in this area includes the use and treatment of domestic dogs in the prehistoric and early historic American Southeast, Midsouth, and Midwest. My Research Statement describes in more detail my past and current research, and my long-term research goals.
