Dr. Eisenberg is a biological anthropologist who studies how evolution has shaped human biology and aging. Dan’s research is primarily on telomere biology and has principally been in collaboration with population-based studies in non-western contexts such as the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey in the Philippines and the Tsimane’ Amazonian Panel Study in Bolivia. […]
Cristina Gildee is a PhD student in the department of Anthropology. She studies osteological health and aging in humans through her joint work with the Primate Evolutionary Biomechanics Lab (PEBL) and the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology (CSDE) Biodemography Lab. Her work investigates the influence of reproductive effort, physical activity, and immune function […]
Prof. Patricia Kramer is an evolutionary biomechanist whose research interest spans millions of years from the origins of bipedalism to the locomotion patterns of modern humans. She has investigated recovery of function after lower limb injury, assessed osteoarthritis development in aging humans and nonhuman primates, examined the energetics of walking on slopes with burdens, and […]
Dr. Amanda Kunkle is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Anthropology working under the mentorship of Dr. Dan Eisenberg. Her research concerns the relationships between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), occupational trajectories, and biological aging, focusing on identifying how interactions between biological and environmental factors across the life course influence aging in adults with ADHD. This research may identify areas […]
Dr. Martin is a biological anthropologist who combines field, laboratory, and biodemographic methods to study how socioecological and life-course exposures shape health and aging in diverse global populations. She received my PhD in Integrative Anthropological Sciences from the Unviersity of California Santa Barbara in 2015 and completed postdoctoral training at Yale University before joining UW […]
