معرفی
Angela N. H. Creager is the Thomas M. Siebel Professor in the History of Science and Chair of the Department of History at Princeton University, where she has been a faculty member since 1994. She directs the Shelby Cullom Davis Center and specializes in 20th-century biomedical research history.
Education:
- Rice University: Double major in Biochemistry and English (BA, 1985)
- University of California, Berkeley: PhD in Biochemistry (1991)
- Postdoctoral training in History of Science at Harvard University and MIT
Her research examines the historical development of biomedical science through three primary lenses: the role of experimental models in virology and molecular biology; the adoption and consequences of radioisotopes in science and medicine; and the environmental impact of chemical production and regulation. Her current book project focuses on scientific approaches to detecting environmental carcinogens from the 1960s-1980s.
Creager's publications consistently explore the intersection of scientific practice with regulatory frameworks and environmental consequences, with recent works analyzing chemical residues, genetic narratives, and risk assessment methodologies in industrial and agricultural contexts.
Awards and Honors:
- Guggenheim Fellowship (2024)
- Patrick Suppes Prize in the History of Science
- President's Award for Excellence in Teaching (1998)
- Wissenschaftskolleg Fellowship (2020-2021)
- Elected Member, American Philosophical Society
She has advised over 10 graduate students and secured significant research funding, including an NSF CAREER grant supporting her work on Atomic Energy Commission bibliographies. Her teaching encompasses history of biology, atomic legacy studies, and science regulation.
