Melanie Martin

My research examines biocultural influences on health, growth, and development across the life course. My primary research has been conducted through two international projects focused on Indigenous community health and well-being: the Chaco Area Reproductive Ecology Program (Co-Director) and the Tsimane Health and Life History Project (Affiliate). As Co-PI of the Biodemography Lab at the University of Washington Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology, I also collaborate on population health studies in the U.S. and globally.
