Assoc. Prof. Bastien Llamas is a former ARC Future Fellow and is affiliated with the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD). He is also Honorary Research Associate in the Indigenous Genomics team of the The Kids Research Institute Australia, Honorary Associate Professor at the National Centre for Indigenous Genomics (NCIG) at the Australian National University, and Deputy Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage (CABAH). He aims to integrate past and present Indigenous genetic diversity from populations around the world to understand how humans adapt to their environment.

Background

Assoc. Prof. Bastien 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 training in four research institutes in France (CNRS, Pasteur Institute, INSERM) and Canada (Montreal Cardiac Research Institute, IRCM).

During his postdoctoral appointments in Australia, Assoc. Prof. Llamas has undertaken intensive training in bioinformatics and High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) techniques through a series of overseas workshops and research visits. He has implemented these methods at the University of Adelaide's Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD) to facilitate the transition from PCR-based to HTS-based ancient DNA analysis, and trained students and postdoctoral researchers in HTS data generation and processing. To further disseminate his expertise in HTS data analysis, he has co-organised local, national, and international bioinformatics workshops, including the annual ACAD International ECR Bioinformatics Workshop.

Assoc. Prof. Llamas now intends to merge cutting-edge methods and knowledge from biomedical research with archaeological and evolutionary questions and datasets, in truly multi-disciplinary projects.

Current Research

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. To that end, he combines a range of advanced analytical methods to integrate past and present Indigenous genetic diversity from populations around the world.

Assoc. Prof. Llamas's 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 cultural expansion and colonisation in Indigenous populations.
  • The migration history of anatomically modern humans and the reconstruction of major peopling events across the globe.
 

 

Media Outreach and Science Popularisation
  • SBS three-part series “DNA Nation” on ancient human migrations and evolution, and accompanying interview
  • Radio Adelaide interviews on various topics in evolutionary biology
  • Radio Canada interview on the impact of early farming and the Industrial Revolution on the oral health (in French)
  • Some of the mainstream newspaper and online articles based on Assoc. Prof. Llamas' research publications can be found here. Assoc. Prof. Llamas' research has received a considerable amount of media attention, and he has performed many interviews in Australia (including SBS, ABC, The Australian, The Examiner), the USA (National Geographic, Science Magazine), Canada (including Radio Canada), New Zealand (including Radio New Zealand National), France (Le Monde), Spain (including Agencia Efe, El Pais, La Vanguardia), and Chile (El Mercurio)
  • Contributions to the blog of the French Canadian Science Press Agency "Agence Science Presse". Some posts were published in the book "Science, on blogue!" © Éditions MultiMondes, 2007
  • Collaborations with Adelaide Compass, a group that works with students from low socio-economic status, regional and indigenous communities, increasing student exposure to the university environment through relevant and engaging curriculum-linked programs
