My talk focuses on advocating for the application of the concept of racialisation in biomedical research and healthcare, instead of relying on the commonly used categories of race and ethnicity. I will examine the primary arguments for and against using race as a proxy for biologically relevant features. Furthermore, I will address the issue of essentialist interpretations of racism in medicine, using the example of racism directed towards and originating from Eastern Europeans. Finally, I will introduce a multileveled model that considers the different processes (epigenetical, neuronal, environmental, among others) affecting the racialisation of an individual.
