LESLIE ANN KNAPP
Professor, Anthropology Department
Research Summary: My research has primarily focused on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes, which are critical for immune response. I study how MHC genes vary in humans and primates and how MHC diversity is generated and maintained via disease resistance, sexual selection, inbreeding avoidance and reproductive failure. I am also interested in other genetic polymorphisms such as dopamine receptor genes, which are believed to influence primate behavior.
Equipment:
I oversee a fully equipped molecular genetics lab with with standard molecular genetics equipment, including sterile PCR workstations, thermal cyclers, equipment for gel analyses, incubators, centrifuges, ultra-pure water filtration system and documentation systems. The laboratory also includes equipment for endocrine (ELISA-based) assays.
