Research conducted by faculty in Anatomical Sciences bridges the fields of evolutionary morphology and clinically relevant anatomical sciences. Faculty possess a broad range of expertise in lab-, museum- and field-based investigations of the evolutionary and translational significance of anatomical variation in primates, mammals and vertebrates.
Principal research areas center on: quantitative approaches to neural and cranial imaging and integration; allometric, multivariate and geometric morphometric analyses of ontogeny and phylogeny; adaptive significance of musculoskeletal transformations during major evolutionary events; and experimental analyses of joint formation, function, formation and aging.
Students interested in working in these areas may directly contact individual faculty members.
