Maurizio Meloni

Maurizio Meloni is a social theorist working on the historical, conceptual, and political implications of the life-sciences, in particular, post genomics and epigenetics. At IAS, he plans to investigate the conceptual and political implications of the new wave of biosocial studies that look at the way in which social structures shape human biology and, in the case of epigenetics, even at possible transgenerational effects.
