We are living in a global risk society, which has complicated the legitimising devices for scientific policies and has rendered social space for subaltern actors to develop new modes of intervention. I’ve established my expertise in the transnational governance of emerging science in the nexus of these themes.
Originally trained as a surgeon, my work on the life sciences and environmental sciences emphasizes aligning theoretical frameworks with real-world challenges. My work has fed into the policy making of the Royal Society in the UK, China’s Ministry of Health, and China’s Ministry of Science and Technology.
I've led empirical studies on the following topics: Transnational policies on 1) stem cells, 2) synthetic biology, 3) GM technologies, 4) CRISPR-related research; and on public engagement/public communication of science, food movements, environmental movements.
