Bastien Llamas is an Honorary Associate Professor in the National Centre for Indigenous Genomics at the John Curtin School of Medical Research. He specializes in the analysis of ancient DNA extracted from past human populations and extinct animals to address significant questions in evolutionary biology. His research investigates the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms through which host-microbiome interactions facilitate human adaptation to diverse environmental and cultural stressors. Llamas aims to integrate a variety of advanced analytical methods, including long-read sequencing and genome graphs, to create a comprehensive human pangenome reference that encompasses both past and present indigenous genetic diversity and human populations worldwide.
