Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents Communal form of DNA research -- "Mass migration" and technologies of gene manipulation -- System of exchange in recombinant DNA research -- Moral and capitalistic economies of gene cloning -- Who owns what : private ownership and public interest in recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s -- Reenvisioning the biomedical enterprise in the age of commercial biotechnology.
Summary This title examines the history of biotechnology when it was new, especially when synonymous with recombinant DNA technology. It focuses on the academic community in the San Francisco Bay Area where recombinant DNA technology was developed and adopted as the first major commercial technology for genetic engineering at Stanford in the 1970s. The book argues that biotechnology was initially a hybrid creation of academic and commercial institutions held together by the assumption of a positive relationship between private ownership and the public interest.
