Research Area
History of medicine in the Islamicate World
1) Galenic medicine, Avicenna
My research focuses on the history of medicine in the premodern Islamic world (espeially ninth–thirteenth centuries), with particular attention to the transmission of Galenic medicine into the Middle East and the intellectual transformations it underwent.
2) Translation from Greek into Syriac and Arabic
A related interest is the translation of Greek texts into Syriac and Arabic during the early Abbasid period, including the multilingual techniques employed and the conceptual changes that emerged through translation.
Recently, I have been examining Muslim scholars' attitudes toward dissection and the development of anatomical knowledge within the Islamic tradition
