Introduction of the Research

I research the interaction between science and technology and society, especially ethical issues, through literature review and fieldwork.

Research Themes

ELSI (Ethical, Legal, and Social issues) in advanced medical technology and its research, research misconduct issues, science & media literacy, etc.

Details of the Research

I have explored the ELSI (Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues) surrounding cutting-edge medical technologies and their research, including stem cells, cloning, assisted reproductive technologies, prenatal diagnosis, and genome editing. The results of my research have been published in several books (e.g., Genome Editing and the Birth of Cell Politics, Seidosha, 2018). I have often contributed articles and book reviews on science, technology, medicine, art, and film to a variety of media. In recent years, I've been examining the ethical issues surrounding medical research involving certain vulnerable populations.
