Brenda Bradley, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Molecular Anthropology Laboratory (PhD, Stony Brook University, 2003).

Her research uses genetic analyses to answer questions about the behavior, ecology, and evolution of primates. This includes work on the genetics of primate adaptation, that is, examining links between genotype, phenotype, and fitness in wild primate populations.
Current projects focus on the evolution of coat color variation in primates and color vision in lemurs. Genetic analyses are also used to examine aspects of behavioral ecology and sociality (e.g. kinship networks, mating strategies) in wild primate, especially gorilla, populations. Brenda teaches lecture and laboratory courses on anthropological genetics and primate molecular ecology and evolution.
