Pilot Collaborative Ethnography with Bioscientists Engaged in Modelling Ageing

Project: Research project (funded)Internal pump-priming

Project Details

Description

This project aims to test and develop methods for researching how bioscientists make and use different kinds of models, animal, human and computational, in their research on different aspects of ageing.

The work is being undertaken with Carrie Friese, at LSE. Friese is conducting research on the role of animal care in biomedical research, funded by new Investigator Award at the Wellcome Trust. Friese is collaborating with me on research regarding animal models, biogerontology and how ageing is being re-examined across science and society.

Layman's description
