Synthetic Biology: Designs on Life
Jane Calvert is a Reader in Science, Technology and Innovation Studies at the University of Edinburgh. She did her doctoral work the Science Policy Research Unit at the University of Sussex and was a postdoctoral researcher at the ESRC Centre for Genomics and Society at the University of Exeter. Jane’s current research, funded by a European Research Council Consolidator grant, focuses on attempts to engineer living things in the emerging field of synthetic biology. She investigates the movement of ideas, practices, policies and promises from engineering into the life sciences, and, more reflexively, examines the ways in which social scientists have been mobilised as part of this endeavour.
