Short presentation

Current research

My research interests focus on social, ethical and legal aspects of biobanking and the biomedical use of human tissue collections. I am currently invovled in the Global genes, local concerns project which examines notions of rights and duties related to internatinal collection and use of tissue samples. In particular I am focussing on formal and informal network dynamics and formation in relation to the biomedical use of tissue and data.
