Research summary
AI-generated

The publication record spans two distinct areas: clinical neurology focused on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, a progressive motor neuron disease) including treatments, genetics, and palliative care; and feminist science-and-technology studies examining plants, patent law, colonialism, and gender in contexts such as South Africa and East Africa. The work therefore ranges from medical research and patient care to social and legal analysis of biotechnology.

Publication activity was highest around 2017-2018 and has since settled into a steadier pace of roughly two to three papers per year.
