Reassembling Tibetan Medicine, or Ratimed, is a large-scale interdisciplinary research project funded by the European Research Council (ERC). Its aim is to generate a bigger picture – and thus a better understanding – of the transnational Sowa Rigpa industry.

The project is based at the Institute for Social Anthropology (ISA) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and will take five years from April 2014 to March 2019. It is conducted by an international, interdisciplinary team of researchers:

Stephan Kloos (AUT) – principal investigator, medical anthropologist

Calum Blaikie (UK) – social anthropologist, development expert

Mingji Cuomu (CHN) – doctor, anthropologist, public health expert

Harilal Madhavan (IND) – economist, intellectual property rights expert
