Therapies and Enhancements
Theme Leaders: Neil Stephens and Ruth Chadwick
At Cesagen we:
- Investigate framings of ‘therapies’ and ‘enhancements’
- Study the development of post-genomic stem-cells bioscience and the emergent opportunities for tissue-engineering and repair
- Explore European perspectives on tissue engineering, and perform comparative work, e.g., on stem cells in India
- Focus on the implementation of neural repair programmes for diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
- Investigate and document the processes of biomedical innovation and compare responses to these treatments to earlier innovations such as organ transplantation, animal genomics and xenotransplantation
- Explore the translation of basic technologies from research to the clinic/consumer, with special reference to biobanks, mitochondrial genomics and nutrigenomics.
