Jenny Bangham is a lecturer in the History of Medicine at the University of Edinburgh. She employs historical methodologies to understand the political, administrative, emotional, and authoritative aspects of biomedical sciences. Her research explores the connections between blood transfusion and the development of human genetics, culminating in her publication 'Blood Relations: Transfusion Making Human Genetics' (Chicago, 2020), which won the History of Science Society's 2022 Suzanne J. Levinson Prize. Jenny leads a Wellcome-funded project focusing on how clinical genetics has been influenced by the gender politics within the NHS, as well as by disability rights and racial politics, particularly in the realm of genetic testing ethics. Currently, she is also developing a new project that charts the history of 'rarity' in biomedicine. Additionally, she co-edited the volume 'Invisible Labour in Modern Science' (Rowman Littlefield 2022), a 30-chapter collection featuring historical articles that address practices often concealed or overlooked in scientific and medical research. Jenny co-convenes an undergraduate course on the History of Medicine, Sociology, and Anthropology for medical students and is active within the Social and Political Science EDI Committee and the HoSMEd Network.
