Dr. Melanie Martin

I am an Assistant Professor of Biological Anthropology, Director of LABOR (Laboratory for Behavior, Ontogeny and Reproduction), and courtesy faculty in the Department of Public Health at Purdue University. I am also an Assistant Editor at an obstetrics and gynecology journal, Birth. I specialize in human evolutionary ecology and biological anthropology with an emphasis on birth and breastfeeding practices, mother-child health and interactions, infant and child immuno-nutrition, and Latin American indigenous health.
