Elodie Freymann

I finished my DPhil from the University of Oxford in 2024, under the supervision of Susana Carvalho (University of Oxford), Michael A. Huffman (Kyoto University), and Catherine Hobaiter (University of St. Andrews). My research focuses on identifying novel self-medicative resources used by the Sonso and Waibira chimpanzee communities in Budongo Forest using interdisciplinary methods. With my project I also seek to develop new methods for efficient identification of novel self-medicative resources, compare self-medicative resource use between communities, and interrogate our ethical obligations when conducting this kind of research.
