This is the website for Leslea Hlusko’s research group at the Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana, CENIEH, in Burgos (Spain).
We are interested in the genetic basis of mammalian variation and its evolution, with an eye towards better understanding the human condition. Our biological research is interdisciplinary, combining paleontology, neontology, quantitative genetics, developmental genetics, and proteomics in an effort to approach morphological evolution from a genotypic perspective.
Our main research emphasis right now is the Tied2Teeth project funded by an ERC Advanced Grant. This 5-year project explores the pleiotropic (shared genetic) effects between the dentition and non-dental traits. The project runs from November 1, 2022 – October 31, 2027.
