Dr. Guerrini’s research interests focus on the life sciences and medicine
since 1500. Her most recent book is a history of animal and human experimentation
from antiquity to the present. She is working on a history of comparative anatomy
before Darwin and on a collaborative project with Jenifer Dugan of the Marine
