Cultures & Codes - Dublin/ Paris

At UCD (Ireland)/ CERMES3 (France), the “Cultures & Codes” cluster employs a mix of historical, ethnographic, and oral history approaches to understand how: (a) post-war ties between industry, science, and public health changed in the face of new biotech and venture capital actors employing targeted, sequence-based analysis and automated screening; (b) how existing infrastructures like culture collections and laboratory networks evolved in the face of privatisation, patenting reforms, and new genomic and computerised technologies.

Mirza Portillo Alas is the PhD researcher on this cluster. 

Claas Kirchhelle is the PI.
