Anelis Kaiser Trujillo

Anelis Kaiser Trujillo is a Lecturer at the University of Basel, affiliated with the Faculty of Humanities, Department of Social Sciences, specifically within the Gender Studies program. Her interdisciplinary work bridges neuroscience, psychology, and gender studies, creating a unique research profile at the intersection of these fields.

Her research interests focus on sex/gender differences and similarities in neurocognitive research, the conceptualization of alternative sex/gender models, the development of intersectional measurement tools for sex/gender in scientific contexts, and the exploration of neurobiological processes underlying language in the brain. She effectively bridges qualitative and quantitative approaches by merging gender theories with neuroscientific methodologies.

Her recent publication 'Sex and Gender: Toward Transforming Scientific Practice' (2025) represents her ongoing exploration of the entanglement between sex and gender in scientific practice. This work examines how sex and gender are co-constituted in ways not fully understood, with implications for basic and developmental systems biology, human biomedical and clinical research, and policy and practice.

Anelis Kaiser Trujillo's research trajectory demonstrates a consistent commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship that challenges traditional disciplinary boundaries and offers innovative perspectives on gender and neuroscience.
