Who am I?
New to Wikipedia. I study Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at Middlebury College.
Interests
Genetics
I am specifically interested in using full genome sequencing to personalise medical care.
Translational Medicine
Translational medicine deals with the transition from bench research to bedside and all the steps between. Using genome sequencing to personalise medical care would be considered translational medicine because it is still a relatively new field.
Feminist Science
Feminist science is a broad range of ideas. Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy defines it as ranging from :
"...urging the reform of gender inequities in the institutions of science by calling attention to the underrepresentation of women or neglected questions while still embracing the standards and practices of the sciences they engage, to critical and constructive alternative programs of research that, to varying degrees, aim at transforming the framework assumptions, methodologies, substantive content, and epistemic ideals that shape the sciences." [1]
In other words, it focuses on the cultural context of science research.
