Rachel A. Munds studies primate biology from multiple angles, including genetics, anatomy, vision, and immune function. Her work spans topics like the evolutionary relationships among small nocturnal primates (lorises and tarsiers), eye and retina structure in macaques, and how immune responses to infection vary across primates and rodents. This research combines fieldwork, molecular genetics, and physiology to understand primate evolution, health, and sensory biology.
