We conduct biological anthropological research on genetic ancestry and women’s health disparities in US American and Caribbean populations. 

Genetics and Ethnogenesis: We use population genetics to learn more about how culture and biology come together to shape community history and experience. Our primary focus is in Afro and Indigenous Caribbean populations.

Race and Women’s Health: We draw on anthropological insights and epidemiological approaches to consider how intersectional identities and genetics to factor into women’s health.

Genetics in Society:  We examine how people engage with genetic technologies as a means to understand more about broader societal meaning of scientific data.
