Linda F. Hogle

Biography

Linda F. Hogle (Ph.D. University of California, San Francisco and University of California, Berkeley), Associate Professor, is an anthropologist of science, technology and medicine. Her research focuses on socio-cultural, organizational, and legal-regulatory issues in emerging biomedical engineering technologies and regenerative medicine. In particular, she analyzes processes of standardization in novel biomedical technologies, and emerging infrastructures and collaborations in interdisciplinary science. She has taught and written about interactions between the body and technologies, including so-called ‘enhancement’ technologies, the nature of evidence in nascent, combinatorial technologies, and regulatory issues in tissue engineering and bionanotechnologies. She is currently writing a book manuscript based on her ethnography of tissue engineering and stem cell research. Dr. Hogle is an affiliate of the Holtz Center for Science and Technology Studies (sts.wisc.edu), the Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Center (stemcells.wisc.edu), the Cardiovascular Research Center (cvrc.wisc.edu), the Neuroscience & Public Policy Program (npp.wisc.edu), and the Department of Anthropology. She is a member of the Regenerative Medicine Faculty Cluster
