Congratulations

Lu Chen will be joining the Humanitarian and Crisis Response Institute at the University of Manchester as a Research Associate from October 2025. Lu will be working on the Wellcome Trust-funded project “Developing Humanitarian Medicine: from Alma-Ata to Bio-tech, a History of Norms, Knowledge Production and Care (1978-2020)” led by Prof. Bertrand Taithe. As part of the project, she will examine the recognition of artemisinin as standard clinical treatment for malaria and the prequalification and procurement of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). It studies how life-saving treatments, particularly, indigenous knowledge, move from discovery to becoming standard care in medical humanitarian aids, including the complex regulatory, quality assurance, and procurement challenges that determine access to essential medicines.
