Harun Badakhshi is Director of the Radiation Oncology Clinic at the Klinikum Ernst von Bergmann in Potsdam. Alongside clinical tumour research and teaching (focusing on the brain, lungs and bowel), he studies medical visualistics and its relevance to scientific and general visual cultures. His primary interests in this field are images in surgical and non-surgical contexts, specifically image-guided interventions. He researches technological and medial infrastructures, concentrating on the strategic aspects, in other words, the epistemic implications for medical knowledge and the consequences of the »digitisation of the body« for cultural and media theory.
