My early interests were in primate comparative anatomy, evolution and paleoanthropology. My post-doctoral research and training at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and at the University of Maryland School of Medicine has focused on female reproductive physiology utilizing modern techniques in cell and molecular biology. My laboratory at Temple will be equipped to do histology, DNA and RNA extraction, PCR and RT-PCR and electrophoresis. I am broadly interested in the evolution of human female reproductive function and topics in medical anthropology.
