Research Description
Linda Hogle’s research interests specific to regenerative medicine focus on socio-economic, industrial and infrastructure issues as the field emerges.
Studies include analyses of emerging regulatory pathways for novel biological and combination products, concepts of risk, efforts to standardize RM processes, and an examination of the nature of evidence being used to evaluate novel cell technologies.
An ethnography of tissue engineering researchers in academic and industrial settings examined how collaborations in multi-disciplinary teams of life scientists, engineers, materials scientists, biophysicists and others affect the nature of research work, and how such collaborations may produce novel concepts and problem definitions in engineering and the life sciences.
A related project analyzed political debates, emerging ethical concerns and policy issues in regenerative medicine.
Hogle consults to international networks of social scientists on transnational matters related to stem cell research and medical technology innovation, in particular, the European Commission study of Regenerative Medicine in Global Context. She also teaches the course “Regenerative Medicine Ethics & Society.”
