Dr. Fabian Crespo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Louisville. His research focuses on human evolutionary immunology, integrating bioarchaeology, osteoimmunology, and historical epidemiology to study how infectious diseases shaped immune systems in past populations. He holds a PhD in Biology from the University of Buenos Aires (1998) and has conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Louisville since 2001.
- Key affiliations: Department of Anthropology, University of Louisville; collaborations with institutions in Spain, England, and across the U.S.
- Research emphasizes inflammatory phenotypes in diseases like syphilis, plague, tuberculosis, and leprosy.
He leads NSF-funded projects exploring bioarchaeological methods to reconstruct immune responses in historical populations, including studies in Peru, Spain, and Argentina. Recent work includes the Paleosyndemics project with the University of Oxford, examining syndemic interactions in past epidemics.
Crespo advises undergraduate and graduate students in experimental immunology and osteoimmunology. His lab operates in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, collaborating with researchers like Dr. Rafael Fernandez-Botran.
