Yale University has a long history of research and education in evolutionary medicine. Professors at Yale conduct research at the cutting edge of this interdisciplinary field, working across the departments of Biology and Anthropology in Yale College in collaboration with areas of Yale Medical School. In education, Yale offers both introductory and upper-level courses that focus on evolutionary medicine, and provides undergraduates with funding to conduct independent research in laboratories and field sites all over the world. Yale also invites numerous researchers from other universities and institutions to give lectures and seminars throughout the academic year, and has hosted conferences and symposiums for evolutionary medicine in the past.
