Gina is a PhD candidate in the Program in History of Science. She primarily studies the history of modern biology (especially the history of biochemistry and molecular biology), but also maintains interests in the history of medicine and the biomedical sciences. Gina is currently writing her dissertation on the history of cellular metabolism and bioenergetics research in twentieth-century biochemistry. Her dissertation project has been supported by fellowships from the American Philosophical Society, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s Center for Humanities & History of Modern Biology, and the Bernard Becker Medical Library at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. In 2021, Gina will be based in Berlin as a Visiting Predoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science.
