Jacob D. Negrey, Ph.D.

I am a biological anthropologist and primatologist specializing in disease ecology, ecophysiology, and animal behavior. I study factors that shape primate illness and aging, integrating behavioral, endocrinological, epidemiological, and omics data to illuminate mechanisms driving health disparities. My work has focused primarily on wild chimpanzees.

Topics of special interest include social determinants of ill health, trade-offs between reproduction and immunity, and proximate causes of aging and age-related diseases.

I am currently a postdoctoral research scholar in the Trumble Lab at Arizona State University.
