Lalita Ramakrishnan

Professor, Microbiology, University of Cambridge
Lalita Ramakrishnan is a microbiologist and immunologist who researches the pathogenesis of tuberculosis. She developed the zebrafish as a model to study TB and has made discoveries about how the bacteria thwart the host immune system to prevail. She is also interested in why it takes several months with multiple drugs to treat TB. This is attributed to a phenomenon called drug tolerance. Lalita’s group has identified a mechanism by which TB bacteria become tolerant to multiple drugs. Both areas of their work have led to the discovery of already approved drugs that can be used for TB treatment. Lalita is a practicing physician specializing in infectious diseases.

Laura Buck

Senior Lecturer in Evolutionary Anthropology, Liverpool John Moores University
I am an Evolutionary Anthropologist interested in what determines variation in skeletal shape. In my past research I have focused on skeletal plasticity, the adaptive and neutral influences on hominin crania, and climatic adaptation in human and non-human primates. Currently, my main research employs non-human primate models to investigate the morphological consequences of hybridisation between closely related taxa. These will be used to better understand the effects of human interbreeding with extinct hominins (e.g., Neanderthals). The methods I employ include computed tomography, 3D laser scanning, manipulation of digital data (e.g., segmentation and virtual measurement), geometric morphometric methods and traditional morphometrics.

Yet rather than focusing on the formal features of the artifacts themselves, she examines their use value for groups dispossessed by the logic of late capitalism, such as Native and Black Americans, during the long twentieth century. Additionally, along with Professor of Anthropology Richard Handler, she is writing a monography about twentieth-century U.S. postage stamps that takes moral circulation as its theme.
