Bio
Angelique Corthals is a biological/biomedical and forensic anthropologist as well as a biomedical researcher. She earned her DPhil (PhD) at the University of Oxford and is currently working as assistant professor at the City University of New York - John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY) and was scientific director of the BioBank at SUNY Stony Brook University School of Medicine in the Department of Pathology until February 2016. She has held faculty and curatorial positions at the University of Manchester, the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and at the Stony Brook University department of Anthropology. Her two research areas are: biomedical research (special focus on the etiology of autoimmune diseases); and biological/forensic anthropology. She also develops bioinformatics solutions for applications in all areas of research. She is also a fierce advocate for access to medical care and medical technology for all.
