Pradiptajati Kusuma
Position : Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Qualifications :
- Ph.D in Biological Anthropology and Population Genetics (Université de Toulouse)
- M.Biomed in Biomedical Sciences(Universitas Indonesia)
- B.Sc. in Biology (Bandung Institute of Technology)
Profile :
I am a population geneticist, currently working closely with a nomadic hunter-gatherer group in Kalimantan, still occupying karstic rock shelters and living in a network of shifting camps in the forest. Together with my collaborators, I conduct a multidisciplinary research to study the population history and the biological impact of their lifestyle transition, involving linguistic, social networks, mobility patterns, diet, and genetics.
