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

Currently on sabbatical (January-December 2025), I am engaged in multi-sited collaborative research with Lauren Paremoer into efforts to catalyse local medical manufacturing in Africa. 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".
