Innovation and the commons
This article explores the relation between innovation and resources that are governed as commons by looking at the governance of potato genetic resources, especially in the context of the emergence of hybrid diploid potato breeding that will enable potato propagation through true seeds. As a new breeding tool, hybrid diploid potato breeding may not only revolutionize traditional potato breeding practices, it may also strongly affect current gover…
Future making and responsible governance of innovation in synthetic biology
As partners in a European project for responsible research and innovation (RRI) in synthetic biology, we organized a collaborative and interactive process of real-time technology assessment. This process consisted of two related activities complementing each other as different modes of future making, one focussing on technological options, the other on societal objectives. For the first type of activity, we established a three-year collaboration …
Constructing future scenarios as a tool to foster responsible research and innovation among future synthetic biologists
The emerging field of synthetic biology, the (re-)designing and construction of biological parts, devices and systems for useful purposes, may simultaneously resolve some issues and raise others. In order to develop applications robustly and in the public interest, it is important to organize reflexive strategies of assessment and engagement in early stages of development. Against this backdrop, initiatives related to the concept of Responsible R…
Igem as laboratory in responsible research and innovation
In this paper, we present two different approaches to responsible research and innovation in synthetic biology. By combining these approaches, we aim to facilitate a process of mutual learning, involving young students involved in the international Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) competition, researchers from the field and a variety of societal stakeholders in the governance of synthetic biology innovation
Implicit and explicit notions of valorization in genomics research
Valorization of knowledge has been defined as a major challenge in the context of genomics as an emerging strategic research field. Valorization is a Dutch science-policy concept for what is elsewhere called science impact or the third mission of universities. This article describes the institutionalization of valorization policy in the Dutch genomics research system as a specific manifestation of a changing social contract between science and so…
Challenges for the European governance of synthetic biology for human health
Synthetic biology is a series of scientific and technological practices involved in the application of engineering principles to the design and production of predictable and robust biological systems. While policy discussions abound in this area, emerging technologies like synthetic biology present considerable challenges in the articulation of concrete policy options given that their introduction into society may still be in the distant future. …
The innovation journey of genomics and asthma research
This article concerns the transformative potential of medical genomics for common disease research. We analysed 13 review articles in asthma research in the period 1999 to 2008. Our aim was to understand how genomics has emerged in this research field, and the attendant changes. Motivated by Lippman's geneticisation thesis, we use the concept of an 'innovation journey' to trace how expectations of improved understanding, prevention, diagnosis and…
Community genetics
In recent years, public health genomics has been introduced in the scientific literature as a new endeavour, aiming at the translation of genome-based knowledge and technologies into health interventions and public policies for the benefit of public health (Brand and Brand 2006; Zimmern and Stewart 2006; Gwinn and Khoury 2006). In 2009, Public Health Genomics started to appear as an international journal and a new signpost of the emerging field; …
Response to Dr. Zimmern
In his letter, Dr Zimmern seeks to dispel the notion that community genetics is unique and different from public health genomics, and he argues instead that both fields are “in essence one single discipline”. Let me, first of all, clarify that a comparison of both fields was not the primary aim of my commentary. My commentary is first of all based on a detailed study of the contents of the former journal Community Genetics. The aim of this study …
Anticipating the Interaction between Technology and Morality
During the last decades several tools have been developed to anticipate the future impact of new and emerging technologies. Many of these focus on hard, quantifiable impacts, investigating how novel technologies may affect health, environment and safety. Much less attention is paid to what might be called soft impacts: the way technology influences, for example, the distribution of social roles and responsibilities, moral norms and values, or ide…

Cancer genetics and its ‘different faces of autonomy’
In this article we discuss the development of a practice of screening, preventive treatment, and presymptomatic testing for individuals at risk of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), a specific hereditary predisposition for colon cancer. We describe this development as a process of co-evolution, showing how this practice has been gradually taking shape in a new network of actors, routines, rules, institutions and technologies. We further argue …
Inside the Politics of Technology
During a stay from - as research fellow at the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands, I participated in the so-called "Mumford-program" -a project to stimulate and co-ordinate intellectual collaboration on the spot between various strands of Science and Technology Studies: from philosophy, sociology, and history of science and technology up to research policy and management studies.This volume, discussing the analytical and normative co…
