Institutional Imaginaries of Publics in Stem Cell Banking
The UK and Spanish Stem Cell Banks hold politically controversial—but potentially therapeutically beneficial—human embryonic stem cells for distribution to research laboratories globally. The UK bank was the first of its type in the world, opening in 2004, and the Spanish bank used it as a role model in its own development. Both banks structure their operations in response to how their staffs imagine the publics in their nation make trust judgeme…
Documenting the doable and doing the documented
We explore the local negotiation of regulatory practice at the UK Stem Cell Bank, the first Bank of its type in the world. Basing our empirical work on a detailed analysis of one aspect of the Bank's regulatory commitment--the completion of the Cell Line Information form--we make visible the necessary judgements and labour involved in interpreting and operationalizing externally imposed regulation. The discussion opens by detailing the problems e…
Internationaliser des standards, mettre en banque avec confiance
Cet article traite du mouvement international de lignées de cellules souches embryonnaires humaines au travers des banques de cellules souches. Il s'appuie sur deux projets de recherche. Le premier est une étude de trois ans de la ' Banque de cellules souches du Royaume-Uni ' qui s'intéresse aussi à la banque équivalente en Espagne. Le second est une étude qui documente la chaîne pourvoyeuse de lignées de cellules souches en Inde. Notre article s…
Ringing the changes
Cellular division
A by-product of India's growing preoccupation with new biomedical and pharmaceutical technologies ("biotech India") has been its growing profile as a center for medical tourism, including the largely unregulated field of stem cells in the treatment of a variety of disorders.As a result, some Indian clinicians are using untested stem cell therapies without appropriate ethical approval to further scientific knowledge in this contentious field.Guida…
The UK Stem Cell Bank as performative architecture
Since November 2006 the UK Stem Cell Bank has made human embryonic stem cell lines available for international distribution. As the first Bank of its type in the world it has an important role in the movement and guardianship of stem cell material. In this paper we discuss the flows of people and biological material through the very building itself. By taking issues of space seriously we make explicit a number of arrangements that are central to …
The UK Stem Cell Bank
In 2004 the United Kingdom opened the world's first stem cell bank. The UK Stem Cell Bank takes donations of ethically approved stem cell lines, tests them, grows larger stocks, and re-distributes the material internationally. As such the Bank has an important guardianship role in the international movement of human embryonic stem cell lines. It also enacts a particular future vision of stem cell science. Its strategies involve a complex temporal…

Banking on Immortality? Exploring the Stem Cell Supply Chain from Embryo to Therapeutic Application
This article addresses a number of difficult and controversial issues surrounding the development of stem cell lines from embryonic stem cells derived from unused embryos during IVF treatment. The UK has recently established the world's first Stem Cell Bank to be a repository for stem cell lines from the UK and elsewhere, and to make them available for use by both academic and commercial laboratories around the world. It will not accept material …
Beyond the genome
The mapping and sequencing of the human genome has been the 'Holy Grail' of the new genetics, and its publication marks a turning point in the development of modern biotechnology. However, the question remains: what has been the impact of this discovery on how biotechnology develops in science, and in society at large? Using concepts developed in the social studies of science and technology, the paper begins by rehearsing the historical developme…
New genetics, new ethics? Globalisation and its discontents
The paper discusses the rapid and significant development of new genetic technologies (in health, food and agriculture) in the theoretical context of the globalisation debate. We show how the studies on the ethical, legal and social implications of biotechnological innovation have themselves emerged as an important factor in the technological innovation and product development process. Ethical considerations are becoming integral to attempts to u…
The new genetics, public involvement, and citizens' juries
This article discusses the first Citizens' July in Wales to focus upon genetic testing for common disorders. Following a brief outline of the citizens' jury model, the paper explores how the effectiveness of the approach can be evaluated using the Welsh example as a case study. This involves an analysis of the symbolic and ritual elements associated with the legal process, which may inadvertently influence perceptions of the integrity of the mode…
Empowering the public? Citizens' juries and the new genetic technologies
The exploration of public views on complex health policy issues has used a number of methods ranging from surveys to focus groups. These have suffered from being primarily designed to collect information, rather than attempting to ameliorate the ‘democratic deficit’ in decision making, particularly in the introduction of the new genetic technologies. Citizens' juries have been promoted recently as an alternative to these more conventional approac…
From community to ‘collaboratory’? The Human Genome Mapping Project and the changing culture of science
There have been several sociological attempts to conceptualise the scientific community initially based on the customary view of science developed by Merton. In extending these accounts, this paper focuses on attempts to develop and apply the notion of a ‘collaboratory’ to the scientists who study a model organism for the Human Genome Mapping Project (HGMP). This community exhibits many of the traditional characteristics associated with the custo…
