OverviewAI-generated summary
Kathleen S. Paul's research investigates the genetic and developmental factors influencing human tooth morphology. Her work utilizes genealogical populations and longitudinal studies, including twin and family samples, to examine the expression of dental traits and their underlying genetic architecture. She has explored the genetic correlation and pleiotropy associated with molar and anterior tooth morphology, as well as the patterning cascade model of crown morphogenesis in human dentition. Paul also contributes to broader anthropological discussions, integrating genealogical data and dental variation to understand human expansions and biocultural diversity in the Americas. Her federal grant funding from the National Science Foundation supports her work on the genetic impact on tooth shape in non-human primates. Paul collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Randall Feezell, Tess McCrary, and Molly Militello. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 16, with 43 total publications and 768 total citations. She maintains an active lab website to disseminate her research.
