Bringing empirical coherence to the intersecting governance structures of human subjects research, animal welfare regulation and stem cell oversight.
Understanding human functioning, at the cellular, organ system and whole body levels, is the goal of biomedical research. On this front, researchers are developing a range of new tools and methods; for exam...
Exploring the multispecies relationships that shape biomedical innovation.
Our project seeks to understand the changing role of powerful organising concepts in biology and society, such as those of species and organism within 21st century life science, and their historical roots in 20th century. For example, when it comes to us humans there is growing aw...
Determining the extent to which changes in technology are transforming the pursuit of human-specific models of disease and development.
