Research Description
Leslea Hlusko is a professor in the Department of Integrative Biology. She is interested in the genetic basis of mammalian skeletal variation and evolution with a focus on human evolution. The research in her lab combines information and approaches from paleontology, neontology, quantitative genetics, and developmental genetics in an effort to approach morphological evolution from a genotypic perspective. She currently on leave to serve as an investigator at the National Center for Research on Human Evolution (CENIEH) in Burgos, Spain.
