Kenny Chiou
Principal Investigator · UAB Biology
My name is Kenny Chiou (he/him) and I am the principal investigator of the PrimAL Lab and an Assistant Professor of Biology at UAB. I am interested in the wide-ranging information encoded in genomes and how it sheds light on health and evolution in primates. My research combines tools and perspectives from evolutionary biology, anthropology, genomics, and geroscience to investigate links between the environment, aging, health, and survival. Unrelated to my research, I love World War II documentaries, Mongolian folk metal (check out The HU!), and eating dumplings (has a more perfect food ever been invented?). You can learn more about me by visiting my website, by emailing me at kchiou@uab.edu, or by following me on X (formerly Twitter).
