Biography
I am a professor of emergency physician at the University of New Mexico. Since 2008, I have taught Evolutionary Medicine to undergraduates, medical students, and graduate students in the Biology Department and the School of Medicine. After medical school at UCLA and residency at the University of New Mexico, I have been committed to educating students and studying the translational potential of evolutionary medicine. The intersection of medicine and evolutionary biology comprises a discipline that is quickly gathering steam, with direct benefits to patient care. My current research uses evolutionary principles to understand cooperation and conflict in the human gut microbiome related to acute and chronic diseases.
Areas of interest
Microbiome, reaction norms, fever, eating behavior, "Too much medicine" movement
