While at the institute, she is working on a project that examines the changing human relationship to living matter in an age of biotechnology. Through a history of the technical manipulation of living cells, she looks at how biological things, including those made with human tissues, have been turned into tools and commercial objects. She is also working on developing new methods and curricula for teaching the history and social study of biotechnology to undergraduates. Dr. Landecker has degrees from the Program in Science, Technology and Society at MIT (PhD), and the University of British Columbia (BSc)."
