Susan Leigh Craddock PhD

Susan Craddock is Director of the Center for Bioethics, and Professor in the Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies and the Institute for Global Studies at the University of Minnesota. Her research focuses on the social determinants of risk to ill health and in particular to infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV, and influenza; and the convergence of financial, political, and scientific factors in determining the availability or not of life-saving medications for these diseases in low-income countries. Her latest book, Compound Solutions: Pharmaceutical Alternatives for Global Health, examines the role of product development partnerships in developing new drugs and vaccines for tuberculosis.
