PhD Candidate
The University of Texas Medical Branch
Galveston, Texas
Vishnu Subrahmanyam is a PhD candidate at the Department of Bioethics and Health Humanities at The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston. His research examines the multiple ways in which biomedical categories and practices around HIV treatment adherence are remade through epistemic spaces: zones of possibility that emerge when different ways of knowing and acting on adherence coexist without fully collapsing into one another. Vishnu’s work aims to understand how contested knowledges become materials to be worked with, enabling the articulation of new therapeutic and biomedical possibilities leading to the generation of markets. He holds a Master’s degree in Chemistry from Pondicherry University and a Master’s degree in Bioethics from KU Leuven.
