Alicia Rich

Alicia is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Sensory Morphology and Genomic Anthropology Lab at Boston University. Along with her mentor, Prof. Christopher Schmitt, she collaborates with the International Vervet Research Consortium to better understand human health and primate welfare using wild and captive vervet monkeys as a model. Her research is especially focused on gene-environment interactions related to chronic stress and trauma. She is incorporating both endocrinological and genomic tools into that project.
