Karin Ekholm

Research and Teaching Associate in History of Medicine
Paper Manager for Part II Paper 2

Research interests: My research focuses on early modern European medicine, anatomy and natural philosophy. I am especially interested in methods of investigating human and animal generation, theories of reproduction, the intersection between anatomical research and medical practice, and in anatomical images.

I am a research associate on the Wellcome Trust Strategic Award on Generation to Reproduction.
