I am a Human Biologist with a keen interest in global health and well-being throughout the lifespan. My research focus on child growth and health in low-income countries, and among children suffering from poverty, and discrimination. I use a biocultural approach on my research, which puts in perspective the symbiotic effects biology and culture have on humans. I am passionate in disseminating my research through artistic outputs. Science and arts should mingle more. (see my CV here https://www.visualcv.com/ines-varela-silva)
