Description for The Recombinant University: Genetic Engineering and the Emergence of Stanford Biotechnology (Synthesis)
Hardcover. The advent of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s was a key moment in the history of both biotechnology and the commercialization of academic research. This book brings to life the hybrid origin story of biotechnology and ways the academic culture of science has changed in tandem with the early commercialization of recombinant DNA technology. Series: Synthesis. Num Pages: 304 pages, 18 halftones, 10 line drawings. BIC Classification: PSAK; PSB; TBX; TCB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 166 x 257 x 28. Weight in Grams: 612.
The advent of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s was a key moment in the history of both biotechnology and the commercialization of academic research. Doogab Yi's The Recombinant University draws us deeply into the academic community in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the technology was developed and adopted as the first major commercial technology for genetic engineering. In doing so, it reveals how research patronage, market forces, and legal developments from the late 1960s through the early 1980s influenced the evolution of the technology and reshaped the moral and scientific life of biomedical researchers. Bay Area scientists, university ... Read more

Reviews for The Recombinant University: Genetic Engineering and the Emergence of Stanford Biotechnology (Synthesis)
"Yi's masterwork is a welcome deep-sequencing of how the double helix, DNA, gave rise to the triple helix-university-industry-government relations at the dawn of modern biotechnology. Yi's story traces how a science department changed the world, for better or for worse, or a bit of both." (Robert Cook-Deegan, Duke University)
