BA, Brandeis
​PhD, MIT
​
I am a Professor in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at King's College London. 

I am also President of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S), and an editor at the journal BioSocieties (under the senior editorial leadership of Profs Hannah Landecker, Ayo Wahlberg, and Catherine Waldby).

My research explores feminist, antiracist, and postcolonial engagements with science, technology, and medicine. Currently on sabbatical (January-December 2025), I recently returned from a month visiting the University of Sydney where I am an Honorary Professor at the Sydney Centre for Healthy Societies, and am now engaged in multi-sited collaborative research with Lauren Paremoer into efforts to catalyse local medical manufacturing in Africa. ​

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)​​​
