His work has focused on developing new methods to investigate past human biology and the ancient drivers of disease using dental and skeletal tissues as indicators of age, disease, growth and development. His research interests are in the curation of human remains, bioarchaeology, the study of mummies and dental anthropology.
He has balanced academic research and publishing with delivering highly successful research led exhibitions and gallery displays at the British Museum and around the world, pioneering new CT scanning and 3D visualisation methods to analyse mummified remains (e.g. Ancient Lives, New Discoveries). He is an Honorary Senior Research Associate at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, and the President of the Dental Anthropology Association.
