DeLeon Lab at UF Anthropology

The DeLeon Lab supports trainees in their exploration of the mechanisms that give rise to biological variation. Our research integrates morphometric analyses, 3D imaging, and comparative anatomy to investigate how interactions between bone and soft tissue shape cranial growth and evolution in primates. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and open science, we advance fundamental knowledge of vertebrate biology while sharing our discoveries through publications, interactive models, and storytelling.
