He has a longstanding interest in the fundamental problems of the social sciences, particularly in collective action problems, in status groups as generators of [exclusionary] collective action, and in self-referring knowledge as constitutive of social order and systems of power. Since the mid-1990s he has been increasingly focusing his work upon the new human biotechnologies and their social and cultural significance. He is the author of seven books, five edited or jointly authored books, and over fifty major papers. His works have appeared in translation in most European languages, and in Chinese and Japanese. In 1998 he accepted the J.B Bernal Prize of the Society for Social Studies of Science for his career achievement in that field.
