Head of Section
Research interests
My research interests are diverse, reaching from general mammalian palaeobiology and palaeoanthropology into almost all topics of bone and dental analyses. In 2001 I have established at SF a virtual imaging lab for 3D-digitalization, editing, reconstruction and morphometrics of vertebrate hard tissue. The focus of my research lays on the structure and function of teeth with a main attention on evolutionary development, dietary and cultural adaptations in the masticatory system. A number of my national and international research projects funded by the DFG (e.g. DFG-FOR771) and the EU (EU-MRTN-CT-2005-019564) have led to the development of the well-known Occlusal Fingerprint Analysis (OFA).
- Evolution and function of teeth and bone in mammals
- Virtual 3D methods in mammalian paleontology

Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Bio:
I am a paleoanthropologist specializing in postcranial functional morphology, specifically the pelvis. I use a variety of techniques including finite element analysis, 3D geometric morphometrics and trabecular bone assessment to provide a more holistic approach to evaluating skeletal adaptation including those related to bipedalism and childbirth.
Currently, I am postdoctoral researcher based out of the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, where I am heading a project with my PhD student, Laura Watson, using machine learning to explore the evolutionary origins of the elaborate human birth pattern. I am also a research associate for the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine at the University of Zürich where I work in close collaboration with Dr. Martin Häusler on topics also related to the evolution of childbirth. This ongoing research includes assessing cephalopelvic fit in chimpanzees and exploring the effects of birth positioning on pelvic dimensions as a means to understand birth difficulty in anatomically modern humans.
Current Project:
Title: “Paleo-obstetric Understanding via Simulation and Heuristic Artificial Intelligence Tools PUSH@IT”
Human birth is risky, presenting hazards for both mother and child. This is due in part to the tight fit between the infant’s head and the birth canal. The project will investigate the timing and evolutionary trajectory of this precarious birth process by investigating the size and shape of the hip bones, maternal metabolism, and bio-cultural factors (e.g., position of the mother’s body during labour). Through the application of machine learning methods, and via combining MRI scans, birth simulations and metabolic data derived from isotope-labeled water, the study plans to elucidate the complex origins of modern birth difficulty. Accordingly, the project offers the potential for novel evolutionary and clinical insights.

PhD-Students
My current research is dedicated to understanding the enduring challenges of childbirth within an evolutionary framework. My primary objective is to study birth and the obstetrical dilemma, while seeking insights into the evolutionary changes that have shaped our current anatomy and its consequential impact on labor and delivery.

Following an undergraduate degree at the California State University at Sonoma in Anthropology, Biology, and Geology, Timothy G. Bromage obtained his MA and then in 1986 his PhD in Biological Anthropology from the University of Toronto with Prof. Becky Sigmon. The later years of his PhD program were completed in the Department of Anatomy and Embryology, University College London with Prof. Alan Boyde. Tim was awarded a NATO Postdoctoral Fellowship in 1987 and in 1988 appointed as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Child Dental Health, London Hospital Medical College, University of London with Prof. Jim Elliott. In 1989 he took a position in the Department of Anthropology, Hunter College, City University of New York, where he remained for 15 years. There he developed the first fully digital light and electron microscopy facility in the United States, and together with his preparation laboratory, created the Hard Tissue Research Unit (HTRU). In 2004 Tim moved the HTRU to the NYU College of Dentistry and further introduced an isotope laboratory within the laboratory.
Primary foci of research in the HTRU relate to bone and tooth biology with emphases on organismal development and life history, as well as for what “signals” exist in these tissues of variability in the external environment. His research has been reported in >200 papers and cited more than 6,170 times. He holds two patents from NYU, for a portable confocal microscope and for a method for simultaneously determining the absolute concentrations of 71 elements in seconds from aqueous solutions. His funding has largely come from the NIH, NSF, the Max Planck Society and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, and the United Nations Development Program. Tim’s contributions to science have been recognized by awards including: the Max Planck Prize (Life Science), Omicron Kappa Upsilon inductee of the National Dental Honor Society, Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar, elected Full Member of Sigma XI, and elected to Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
