Synthetic Biology: Designs on Life
Emma Frow received her doctorate degree from the University of Cambridge. She completed postdoctoral research at the University of Edinburgh and Harvard, and was an assistant professor in science, technology and innovation studies at the University of Edinburgh before moving to Arizona State University in 2015. At Arizona State University, Emma runs the Bioengineering, Policy and Society laboratory, which uses qualitative social science research methods to study and influence the governance of emerging biotechnologies. Her work involves engaging with scientists, potential users of new biotechnologies, and policy actors shaping the governance landscape for bioengineering. Current research projects focus on automation and the future of work in synthetic biology, the governance of experimental stem cell treatments, and the future of engineering education.
