Sara Green, Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen and PhD graduate of CSS, awarded the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters’ Silver Medal
Sara Green's "exceptional talent, intelligence, and energy" have made her deserving of the Silver Medal, according to the nomination statement
Associate Professor Sara Green’s research examines the potentials and challenges of personalised medicine. She studies how using more health data can lead to improved individualized prevention – but also to more uncertainty and overdiagnosis.
“I’m very pleased, surprised and touched that my colleagues nominated me and receiving the award is a great honour,” says Green, adding:
“I also see it as a recognition of the practice-oriented philosophy of science that I’m proud to be a part of developing.”
Green is an associate professor of theory of science at the Department of Science Education, University of Copenhagen. Her research focuses on the intersection between epistemology and ethics in the biomedical sciences. Her current research is particularly concerned with what personalised medicine means for science and society. And now she can call herself a recipient of the Royal Academy’s Silver Medal.
