Manuel Dür

University of Zurich



Emerging Scholars

Research and teaching assistant in the Department of History at the University of Zurich. He is also a Ph.D. student in the doctoral program of the Center for the History of Knowledge (University of Zurich/Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich); he is writing his dissertation on the making of antihypertensive drugs at Ciba (Basle), 1945 to c. 1975. Using a broad range of archival and published sources, the project attempts to reconstruct the intertwined biomedical, epidemiological, commercial, and political dis- courses and to shed new light on the constitutive era of the development of antihypertensive drugs in Europe and the United States. His research interests include business and economic history in the transatlantic context.
