Short biography
Born in Buenos Aires, I received a BA from Harvard University, graduate degrees from the Universities of Geneva and Paris, and a Habilitation from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales. Before moving in 2018 to the field of medical anthropology, I worked as historian of the human sciences from the Renaissance to the present. I was Guggenheim Fellow, Athena Fellow of the Swiss National Science Foundation, Visiting Scholar at the American Academy in Rome and at Harvard University, Fellow at the Brocher Foundation, Visiting Professor in Buenos Aires, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico and Kyoto, and permanent investigator at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. I was elected to the Academia Europaea in 2017, and in 2021 received the Carlson Award "in recognition of extraordinary scholarship in the history of the human sciences."
