I am a social theorist working on the historical, conceptual, and political implications of the life sciences. I have held two EU Marie Curie Fellowships, a Fulbright scholarship, and an Annual Membership (2014–2015) at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA. I am the author of Political Biology: Science and Social Value in Human Heredity from Eugenics to Epigenetics (Palgrave, 2016)
