Latent life: Concepts and practices of human tissue preservation in the International Biological Program (2013, background): “3 Attention to cryopreservation can also contribute new insights into long-standing efforts to address the management of stored biomaterials across the life sciences (Bowker, 2005; Fortun, 2008; Pálsson, 2007; Parry, 2004b; Tutton and Corrigan, 2004; Weir and Olick, 2004).”
Promising pessimism: Reading the futures to be avoided in biotech (2011, background): “Studies of the life sciences have investigated the role of expectations in xenotransplantation (Brown and Michael, 2003), stem cell research (Martin et al., 2008), regenerative medicine (Wainwright et al., 2008), biobanking (Tutton, 2007), pharmacogenetics (Hedgecoe and Martin, 2003), pharmaceutical”
Indigenous body parts, mutating temporalities, and the half-lives of postcolonial technoscience (2013, background): “Today, in the highly competitive, future-oriented world of commercial genomics (Fortun, 2008), old frozen tissue samples are mined not only for human DNA but also for the DNA of microorganisms, such as malaria (see, for example, Chan et al.”
