I am a researcher in genetic anthropology. I study human biological and cultural diversity to:
- trace back the demographic history of human populations
- understand the importance of gene-culture interactions in human evolution, with a special focus on kinship systems
- assess the influence of the environment on genic regulation and epigenetic profiles
Ongoing projects
- Project HomoCulturGen - Dissecting the cross-talk between cultural and genetic evolution in humans (funded by Emergence program Sorbonne Universités & Sorbonne Paris Cité).
- Project EpiMed - Evaluation of the influence of the meditative practice on the human methylome (funded by PEPS INEE).
- Project SoGen - From social to genetic structures: a genome-wide approach in South-East Asia (funded by ANR).
- Project MHCmate - Biological and cultural factors influencing mate choice in humans: a genomic approach (funded by MNHN)
