Laura M. MacLatchy
Professor of Anthropology, University of Michigan
I am a paleoanthropologist interested in understanding the relationship between biological form and function, with research foci on primate locomotor evolution, and hominoid (ape and human) origins. Most of my field work has been conducted at 19-21 million-year-old sites in northeastern Uganda, which record evidence of the earliest known fossil apes.
The arboreal habitat of primates poses unique challenges, including substrate gaps and complex and unstable supports, which have led to the evolution of diverse forms of locomotion. Although humans are terrestrial, we still bear the hallmarks of prior arboreal specializations. A major evolutionary event among our hominoid relatives was the adoption of frequent upright postures (orthogrady) and suspensory (below branch) behavior from more monkey-like branch walking. These novel behaviors opened new niches, and selected for a body with a stable lower back that was (arguably) modified for habitual upright posture and bipedality in one hominoid group, the human lineage. The investigation of the locomotor adaptations of our ape predecessors, and the nature of their behavioral transitions, which also include dietary and body size changes, is a centerpiece of my research program. In order to test hypotheses generated from paleontological studies, I also study the locomotion of wild chimpanzees in the Kibale Forest, Uganda.

Laurence Don Wai Luu
Lecturer and Chancellor's Research Fellow, School of Life Sciences, University of Technology Sydney
Laurence Luu is a Chancellor's Research Fellow (CPDRF). His current research program investigates chlamydia host-pathogen interactions using a systems biology approach (transcriptomic, proteomic and functional genomics) and new organoid models to better understand how chlamydia infection leads to infertility. This knowledge will be used to develop new interventions to reduce the significant burden of chlamydia.
Prior to joining Prof Huston's group, Laurence completed his PhD in the Evolutionary Microbiology lab under the supervision of Prof. Ruiting Lan and Dr. Sophie Octavia at UNSW. Here, he investigated the evolution of Bordetella pertussis (which causes whooping cough) to vaccines. During his PhD, he discovered new proteomic adaptations that were associated with increased fitness in the current Australian B. pertussis strains circulating. This discovery garnered widespread media attention and led to a national call to improve vaccines for whooping cough.
Laurence continued his research at UNSW as a postdoctoral researcher in A/Prof Natalia Castaño Rodríguez's and A/Prof. Nadeem Kaakoush's research group where he investigated how interactions between host immunogenetics and the microbiome can lead to cancers of the gastrointestinal tract and inflammatory bowel diseases.

Laurence Zwiebel
Professor of Biological Sciences and of Pharmacology, Vanderbilt University
The major focus of the Zwiebel laboratory is the characterization of specific genes and their products that control important behavioral processes in the life cycle of insects that act as disease vectors, particularly host (i.e. blood-meal source) seeking/selection in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae, the principal vector for malaria in Africa. Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite of the genus Plasmodium that is transmitted to humans through blood feeding by female Anopheline mosquitoes. In this context, the Zwiebel lab is examining the molecular events of olfaction, as this sense predominates the overall host preference and other essential behaviors in mosquitoes and other insects. This aspect of the mosquito’s behavior is especially important as it makes a significant contribution to the vectorial capacity of this arthropod vector, as well as playing a similar role in the overall impact of many other insects of economic importance.
