Paläopathologie und Osteoanthropologie

Julia Gresky is leading the anthropology unit at the DAI and is working in numerous projects. Her research has a dual focus: paleopathology and archaeological oriented topics. Due to the actual debate on climate change, she is engaged in investigations of different aspects of human interactions and the bioarchaeology of climate change. The strongest research emphasis, however, is on ancient rare diseases, creating a network and a common ground for this underrepresented topic in paleopathology.
