Highly heterogeneous and cross-disciplinary, research at our laboratory has nonetheless a common thread: the investigation of processes, whether bio-molecular, taphonomic, evolutionary, ecological or technological. Using both molecular and morphological techniques, our research program continuously seeks to push the boundaries of technology and knowledge for application as far afield as anthropology, forensic science, medicine, criminal justice, evolutionary and conservation biology and biomedical informatics and
engineering.
