Skin Pigmentation Research in Biological Anthropology with Dana Al-Hindi
Manage episode 290032440 series 2820606
This week I sat down to talk to Biological Anthropology graduate student Dana Al-Hindi, a member of Brenna Henn's laboratory at UC Davis (http://hennlab.ucdavis.edu/), who is looking at human phenotypic variation in hunter-gather populations in Africa. Her research primarily focuses on identifying the genetic architecture of skin pigmentation within the Khoe-San using a genome-wide association approach, and functionally verifying pigmentation genes using CRISPR driven gene knock-out in zebrafish. Dana breaks down her journey into genetic studies and anthropology, why she loves it, and how she intends to use her research and voice to push towards more diverse research in all areas of the world. She also gives us some insight into other projects she is working on, including one on eye pigmentation.
