Evolutionary medicine uses evolutionary theory to understand why we get sick and how modern environmental “mismatches” can affect health. At the ASU Center for Evolution and Medicine, our mission is to accelerate innovations in medicine by bringing evolutionary insights into health and disease. The Center brings leading scientists to ASU to join existing faculty in research that demonstrates the power of evolutionary biology to address problems in medicine and public health. The courses we teach, including research internships, meet the growing demand for such experiences and content, and will educate a generation of future researchers and health professionals. Many of these are at ASU, but others will be available online open access worldwide, providing the authoritative content that has long been needed to bridge the gap between evolutionary biology and medicine.
