My research interests focus on the application of bioarchaeological and biomolecular methodologies to the study of the health and nutrition of past societies. My research experience combines osteological and paleopathological research with multi-isotopic analysis and ZooMS to reconstruct mortality, morbidity, nutrition and health profile in the past during transitional historical periods in critical areas of the world. My research offers a deep historical perspective on themes of health and nutrition that are relevant to the history of global health.
