I am a molecular anthropologist with an interest in the genetic and sociocultural contributors to racial inequalities in health. As an assistant professor of anthropology at Vanderbilt University, I am interested in investigating the biological consequences of racism and other psychosocial stressors, particularly during early life developmental stages. I am studying epigenetic modifications that may occur as a result of early life exposures to stressors which may have long term consequences for development of chronic diseases. I believe that epigenetic mechanisms may mediate the effects of the environment on the genome, and thus it is important to study complex disease from genetic, epigenetic, and environmental perspectives.
