Pablo Nepomnaschy joined the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University in 2008, where he is currently a Professor and MSFHR Scholar. He obtained his Licenciado in Biology from the Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia S.J.B. in Argentina and earned both his MA and PhD in Anthropology from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor. His doctoral studies focused on biological anthropology, integrating perspectives from physiology, ecology, and anthropology. Following his PhD, he completed a post-doctoral fellowship in the Epidemiology Branch of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIH) in the USA.
