.BA, Brandeis
​PhD, MIT
​
I am a Professor in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at King's College London, and currently serve as Head of Department. I am also President-Elect of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S).

My research explores feminist, antiracist, and postcolonial engagements with science, technology, and medicine. Broadly, I am engaged in ongoing research in three intersecting areas: racism and health, feminist theory and biomedicine, and social studies of pharmaceuticals. 
​
I am the author of three books: 
  • Medicating Race: Heart Disease and Durable Preoccupations with Difference (Duke 2012)
  • Synthesizing Hope: Matter, Knowledge, and Place in South African Drug Discovery (Chicago 2019)
  • Sickening: Anti-Black Racism and Health Disparities in the United States (Minnesota 2021)​​
