Luc Berlivet combine les apports de la sociologie et de l'histoire des sciences et de la médecine pour analyser la manière dont médecins, savants et administrateurs ont cherché à caractériser les différences observables au sein des populations humaines dans une perspective d'intervention publique. Il a notamment étudié les transformations de la statistique médicale et l'essor, dans la seconde moitié du vingtième siècle, d'un style de raisonnement en termes de "risque de santé" qui a été à l'origine d'une reproblématisation de la santé publique, en particulier des politiques de prévention sanitaire. Ses travaux actuels portent sur l'évolution des conceptions de l'hérédité humaine depuis la fin du dix-neuvième siècle et du rôle respectif de la "nature" et de la "culture" dans l'explication des différences et des inégalités entre individus et groupes humains. Il s'intéresse ainsi à la trajectoire des différentes disciplines scientifiques et médicales impliquées dans des projets eugéniques ; ses recherches portent en particulier sur le cas de "l'eugénisme latin" (France, Italie, Roumanie, Amérique Latine) et aux différentes manières dont fut envisagée l'influence de l'environnement sur l'hérédité elle-même. Parallèlement, il étudie l'histoire de la génétique médicale, depuis son institutionnalisation, aux lendemains de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Il enseigne à l'EHESS et est membre du conseil scientifique du doctorat européen Phoenix JDP - Dynamics of Health and Welfare.
