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 affiliated with the King's Global Health Institute, and an Honorary Professor at the Sydney Centre for Healthy Societies.

I am immediate Past-President of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S), a former Lead Editorial Team member of Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience, and an ongoing editor at the journal BioSocieties (under the senior editorial leadership of Profs Hannah Landecker, Ayo Wahlberg, and Catherine Waldby). Beyond the academy, I serve on the Leadership Council and Executive Advisory Board of Our Bodies Ourselves.

My research explores feminist, antiracist, and postcolonial engagements with science, technology, and medicine. Currently, I am engaged in multi-sited collaborative research with Lauren Paremoer into efforts to catalyse local medical manufacturing in Africa. With support from a seed fund through King's College London and University of Paris-City, Koichi Kameda and I are developing PharmaGHaSTS Research Network: Critical Social Science of Pharmaceuticals at the Intersection of Global Health and Science, Technology, and Society. With funding from the British Academy, Lauren Paremoer, Koichi Kameda, and I are co-convening Making Pharma Otherwise: Alternative Models of Pharmaceutical Research, Development, and Production for the Public Good.

I am the author of three single-authored 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)​​​
