Fulbright SchumanWell, not quite yet; I shall have to wait until the end of August to get on a plane and fly over the Atlantic. I am going to spend four months as a Fulbright Schuman scholar at the City University of New York. I can’t wait. In fact, I am all the more excited about […]

I have chosen Arizona as a location of my Fulbright research to discover how Americans manage refugee resettlement. However it was also important for me to observe the dynamics between different “classes” of migrants – those wanted due to their right status and those undeserved = undocumented.

I have been in Washington focusing on my PhD research at the Center for Transatlantic Relations, School of Advanced International Studies – Johns Hopkins University since the end of March 2012 and it is hard for me […]
As a molecular geneticist, affiliated with the Department of Pharmacology in Oxford (UK) and later with the pharmaceutical biotechnology industry in San Francisco (CA, USA), I have been involved in research projects investigating how the human body responds to pharmaceuticals and other exogenous chemicals of everyday life (called “xenobiotics”). This knowledge is particularly relevant when […]
