Her research explores the entanglements of ecological and bodily health through dawa lishe (nutritious medicine) in Tanzania, challenging modern governance divisions between food/medicine and traditional/modern. She investigates how intellectual property law, biomedical science, and capitalist extraction interact with African healing practices, particularly regarding therapeutic plants.
Recent publications focus on medicine sovereignty, toxicity, and collaborative projects like the Uzima Collective's garden at a Moshi medical school. She examines law's role in reshaping therapeutic knowledge through articles like "Properties of (Dis)Possession" and "Partial Publics."
