Robert Turell Professor of the History of Medicine and Bioethics, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health
Susan E. Lederer, PhD is the Robert Turell Professor of the History of Medicine and Bioethics at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. In January 2008, she was appointed chair of the department of medical history and bioethics. A historian of medicine and biomedical ethics, Professor Lederer received her doctorate in the history of science and medicine at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Before coming to the University of Wisconsin, Professor Lederer taught in the department of humanities at the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, and in the section of medical history at Yale University School of Medicine. She has published extensively on the history of both human and animal experimentation. In 1994, she was appointed by President Clinton to the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments, and contributed to the Committee's lengthy report on the radiation research sponsored by the federal government in the years between 1944 and 1974. She has also served on presidential commissions for the German government that were charged with exploring the conduct of human experimentation during the period of National Socialism. Professor Lederer's books include Subjected to Science: Human Experimentation in America Before the Second World War (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1995); Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature (Rutgers University Press, 2002), and Flesh and Blood: A Cultural History of Transplantation and Transfusion in Twentieth-Century America (Oxford University Press, 2008).
