He is currently working on a manuscript that examines the relationship between anatomy, philosophy and literature in Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In addition, he has just started work on a new project that reconstructs the development of the word 'culture' in the eighteenth century. He regularly collaborates in the creation of interdisciplinary courses that combine the concerns of the humanities with those of the biological and physical sciences.,
