Shobita Parthasarathy is interested in the comparative and international politics of scientific and technological development. Her new book, Building Genetic Medicine: Breast Cancer, Technology, and the Comparative Politics of Health Care, compares the development of genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancer in the United States and Britain. She is now working on projects exploring the mechanisms of public participation in national and international patent laws covering genetics and biotechnology, and the role of multinational corporations in shaping science, ethics, and governance in the area of stem cell research. Dr. Parthasarathy will be a Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars for the upcoming 2007-2008 academic year.
