Projects
- Investigating the demographic history of various populations and ethnic groups in Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
- Assaying functionally relevant drug metabolising enzyme gene variation in Africa.
- Investigating the evolution of lactase persistence in Europe, Asia and Africa using genetic and phenotypic data, ancient DNA and computer simulation modelling.
- Examining the effects of past social structures on the distribution of modern genetic variation using computer simulations.
- Identification and date estimation of genomic events since the human / chimpanzee split.
