Mark Robinson
I am an assistant professor at Creighton University, a visitng scholar in Science Policy at Georgia Institute of Technology and recent student fellow at the Petrie-Flom Center on Biotechnology, Health Law Policy, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School.
My interests include the following:
- Bioethics and Neuroethics
- Science, Technology and Society (STS)
- Science and Technology Policy
- Medical Anthropology
My current interests center upon the ethical and social implications of emerging technologies and medicines. My current work explores the ethical implications and social dimensions attached to the emergence of translational science and medicine. Particular areas of interest include considerations of the impact of translational science and medicine upon clinical practices and the political economy that underlay its global emergence and rapid expansion. In all of this, I am especially interested in the impact of the shift towards translational medicine and science upon patients and health outcomes.
Prior to Creighton, I worked on ethical issues surrounding genetic engineering as part of the Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program cluster in Genetic Engineering and Society. As part of this cluster, my research mapped and analyzed the complex interactions between innovations in genetic engineering and their attendant social implications. I am also particularly interested in the growing impacts of high finance on innovations and developments in biotechnology and biomedicine. My early work included a cultural study of psychopharmaceuticalization and research on metaphor use among social neuroscientists. My overarching interests surround the challenge of translating knowledge (and values) across domains. I have also focused on several issues, including questions about the commercialization of innovations in genetic engineering.
My general interests lay at the convergence of bioethics, medical anthropology and science, and technology studies (STS). I have been a visiting scholar at Stanford University, the Center for the Study of Science, Technology, Medicine, and Society at the University of California Berkeley, and was a recipient of the research fellowship from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. My work has received recognition from the National Science Foundation, the National Academy of Sciences, the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, Princeton’s Center for Health and Wellbeing, and the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. I received my Ph.D. from Princeton University, where I received the Presidential Fellowship.
I am a Visiting Scholar at Georgia Tech, Assistant Professor at Creighton University in the Center for Health Policy and Ethics, and former Student Fellow at the Petrie-Flom Center for Biotechnology, Health Policy, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School.
