James K. Gibb, Ph.D.
Assistant Research Scientist
Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology
James K. Gibb is a biological anthropologist specializing in human population biology. His research investigates how lived experiences, particularly among sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations, are biologically embedded over the life course through mechanisms such as stress, inflammation, and epigenetics. By integrating fieldwork, laboratory, and computational approaches, his work explores how social and environmental contexts shape variation in health, aging, and survival across diverse populations.
