معرفی
Alicia Sanchez-Mazas is a Full Professor in the Genetics and Evolution department at the University of Geneva. Her research focuses on HLA gene evolution, pathogen-driven selection, and human population genetics, particularly in African populations. She leads interdisciplinary studies integrating genetic, environmental, and cultural data to understand immune adaptation.
- Key projects: HLA-AFRICA (2020-2024), FNS-funded malaria-HLA correlations, FP7 transplant compatibility initiatives
- Collaborations: European Federation for Immunogenetics, Iberian Peninsula HLA mapping, Québec population genetics
Research Interests include:
- HLA molecular diversity in global populations
- Computational models of selection and migration
- Interdisciplinary analysis of race/ethnicity in medicine
- Evolutionary implications of chimpanzee HLA orthologs
Recent publications emphasize:
- HLA associations with Plasmodium falciparum resistance
- Functional divergence in HLA-A/B/C genes
- HLA diversity in underrepresented populations (Africa, Québec)
- Methodological critiques of ancient DNA studies
