University of Lethbridge - A recent National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant will help Dr. Paul Vasey, a University of Lethbridge psychology professor, determine if genes associated with male same-sex sexual attraction are the same across cultures. The NIH is an agency of the American government dedicated to biomedical and public health research, annually investing billions of dollars in medical research. Vasey is among a handful of U of L researchers who have received funding from the agency. “Much of my work focuses on testing evolutionary-level questions about how genes that are associated with male same-sex sexuality don’t go extinct. How do they persist over evolutionary time?” says Vasey.
