Julie’s PhD research focuses on how biological traits inform us of life history patterns and the resiliency of human and non-human primates to cope with disease, trauma and dietary stress. Julie’s project uses inter-generational data to construct biological profiles and growth models to investigate the mechanisms driving evolutionary adaptations in individuals, populations and species. Her advisor is Michelle Sauther.
