Choreographies of nearness: Self and other in personal cancer immune therapy research
This article explores the practical and material configurations of the ‘person(al)’ in experimental cancer immune therapy, where immune cells from the patient’s cancer tissue are used to eliminate incurable cancers. Drawing on ethnography from Denmark, we examine personal cancer immune therapy as a carefully steered practice—a choreography—through which tissues and cells originating from the same person are reconfigured in unpredictable ways. Can…
Introduction to the special issue: The Near Human in life science, biomedicine, and care
cells become humanized through socio-material practices (e.g
Moral Ambiguities: Fleshy and Digital Substitutes in the Life Sciences: Personhood
Caring for Organoids: Patient Personhood and the Ethics of Avoidance in Translational Cancer Research
This article explores the daily practices in a Danish cancer laboratory, where researchers use "personal organoids" as new translational models in the development of personalized medicine. Grown from metastatic cancer tissue of life-threateningly ill patients, personal organoids enable patient-specific drug screenings that may directly shape clinical decision-making and individual patient lives. Hereby, laboratory researchers are confronted with …
Precision patients: Selection practices and moral pathfinding in experimental oncology
This paper addresses selection practices in a Danish phase 1 unit specialised in precision medicine in the field of oncology. Where precision medicine holds the ambition of selecting genetically fit medicine for the patient, we find that precision medicine in the early trial setting is oriented towards selecting clinically and genetically fit patients for available treatment protocols. Investigating how phase 1 oncologists experience and respond …
Mouse avatars of human cancers: The temporality of translation in precision oncology
Plastic pigs and public secrets in translational neonatology in Denmark
This paper explores how a translational research platform in Denmark uses piglets as infant models. Drawing on meanings of “public” as “open” and “visible,” we track how researchers and clinicians together and separately turn research piglets and premature infants into both public and un-public beings in laboratory and clinical settings. In these complex multispecies relationships, researchers and clinicians alike create and retain certain “zones…
Treating pigs: Balancing standardisation and individual treatments in translational neonatology research
Translational neonatology research: Transformative encounters across species and disciplines
A life worth living: Temporality, care, and personhood in the Danish welfare state
Caregiving can be conceptualized as involving practices of substitution, in which doctors, nurses, and health assistants step into the subject positions of their charges in order to sustain their personhood and compensate for their reduced capacities. Fieldwork in Denmark at three sites-a neonatal intensive care unit, a research laboratory using piglets as animal models, and a dementia nursing home-shows that temporality is a key component in sub…
