  • Biography/ Background

    Assoc. Prof. Llamas pursued graduate studies in the area of biomedical research where he concentrated on mapping genes with phenotypic effects in animal models, particularly those associated with disease. During this training he developed expertise in the areas of molecular genomics and bioinformatics, forged by years of practice in 4 research institutes in France (CNRS, Pasteur Institute, INSERM) and Canada (Montreal Cardiac Research Institute, IRCM).

    Since his arrival at the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD) in 2008, he merged cutting-edge methods and knowledge from biomedical research with archaeological and evolutionary questions and datasets, in truly multi-disciplinary studies. He is also Deputy Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage (CABAH), Honorary Associate Professor at the National Centre for Indigenous Genomics (NCIG) at the Australian National University, and Honorary Research Associate in the Indigenous Genomics team of the Telethon Kids Institute.

    Assoc. Prof. Llamas investigates a range of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms and host-microbiome interactions that facilitate human adaptation to diverse environmental and cultural stressors. He intends to combine a range of advanced new analytical methods (e.g., long-read sequencing, genome graphs) to integrate past and present Indigenous genetic diversity from populations around the world into a new human pangenome reference.

    Assoc. Prof. Llamas's other current projects at ACAD and NCIG target several topics in evolutionary biology, population genomics and medical genomics, including:

    • Genomic resources for Indigenous Australians.
    • The genetic history of Indigenous Australia.
    • The genetic consequences of colonisation on the immune system of indigenous societies, with a focus on the dramatic South American population collapse after European colonisers introduced new Old World diseases.
    • The migration history of anatomically modern humans and the reconstruction of major peopling events across the globe.
