Lara Keuck is a historian and philosopher of medicine. She leads the Max Planck Research Group “Practices of Validation in the Biomedical Sciences” at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin.
Her research examines the making and changing of knowledge about disease in modern medicine, and has focused on medical classification systems, animal models of human disease, vagueness in psychiatry, and the question of validity. She is particularly interested in so-called borderline cases that in some way or the other fall in-between health and disease and challenge or alter their demarcations.
