Sascha Deboni is a Scientific Assistant and PhD candidate at the Chair for History of Medicine, University of Zurich, since September 2024. Her doctoral research examines global health, world food supply, and transnational business interests under supervision of Prof. Flurin Condrau.
Her academic trajectory includes:
- PhD in History of Medicine (in progress, 2024-present), University of Zurich
- MA in Contemporary History and Data Science (2021-2024), University of Zurich, thesis: "Common Interests for Cash Flow. A Transnational History of Development and Business on Nestlé’s Milk District in Moga, India"
- BA in General History and Informatics (2017-2021), University of Zurich, thesis: "Wirkungsorientierte Führung durch Teilautonomie? New Public Management im Kanton Zürich 1995-2003"
Deboni's research integrates History of Medicine, Business History, and Transnational History with History of Knowledge and Infrastructures. Her work critically analyzes Swiss corporate influence—particularly Nestlé and PTT—in global health systems, food supply chains, and communication networks through interdisciplinary methodologies combining historical analysis with data science.
Her publications reveal consistent thematic focus on institutional power dynamics, including corporate environmental practices, state-media regulation, and knowledge production in political contexts. Recent outputs examine Swiss business history through lenses of food sovereignty, telecommunications policy, and data infrastructure governance.
