}}Ilana Löwy (née Zelmanowicz), born in 1948 in Łódź, Poland, is a historian of biomedical sciences and a feminist. She works as a research director at an interdisciplinary and cross-institutional research unit CERMES-3 (Centre de recherche médecine, sciences, santé, santé mentale, société, Inserm-CNRS-EHESS),[1] and is associated with the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at King's College London,[2] the Department of the History of Science at Harvard University[3] and Casa de Oswaldo Cruz, Fiocruz, Rio de Janeiro.[4]BiographyBorn in a Jewish family in Poland, her parents decided to leave for Israel in 1957. She gained her Msc in microbiology and biochemistry from Tel Aviv University in 1971, and her PhD (Doctorat D'Etat es Sciences) from Paris VII University in 1977.[5] CareerAt the beginning of her career, Ilana Löwy was a working at the Institut Pasteur at the Cellular immunity lab. Her interest for the history of science initially evolved around the history of organ transplantation, bacteriology, immunology, virology and tropical medicine. With an increasing interest for human reproduction and cancer, her works associate now an extensive analysis of biomedical analysis and a reflexion on gender. She has extensively published on Ludwik Fleck, Polish historian and philosopher of medicine. Her current (2017) research focuses on prenatal diagnosis, genetics and congenital disorders.[1] PublicationsAuthored monographs- The Polish School of Philosophy of Medicine: From Tytus Chalubinski (1820–1889) to Ludwik Fleck (1896–1961), Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publications (Philosophy of Medicine Series),1990.
