Title: Dr. Job Title: Cesagen Assistant Director Tel: +44 (0) 1524 510 838 Fax: Email: r.tutton@lancaster.ac.uk Building: FASS Building, County South Room Number: D10
My academic training was in literary and cultural studies, before my interest turned to studying the social implications of human genetics research in the late 1990s. I completed a PhD with Sarah Franklin and Maureen McNeil in the Department of Sociology at Lancaster University in 2002, and then took up a post-doc post in SATSU (Science and Technology Studies Unit) at University of York working with Anne Kerr and Sarah Cunningham-Burley on an ESRC funded project called Transformations in Genetic Subjecthood. When this research finished, I moved to what is now called the Institute for Science and Society (ISS) at the University of Nottingham and collaborated with Paul Martin (at ISS), Richard Ashcroft (Queen Mary's), George Ellison (St George's London), and Andrew Smart (Bath Spa) on the 'Race/ethnicity and Genetics in Science and Health' Project, which was funded by the Wellcome Trust's Biomedical Ethics Programme. In September 2007, I took up the post of Senior Lecturer at Cesagen Lancaster.

I work at the intersections of the social studies of science and medical sociology, and have interests in the social and ethical issues of banking human tissue for genomics and biomedical research and the implications of contemporary life sciences for identity and citizenship. I have published work in these areas in sociological and science studies journals and co-edited a book, Genetic Databases: the Socio-Ethical issues in the Collection and Use of DNA (Routledge, 2004). I am also an editorial board member of Sociology of Health and Illness.
