Amy Clare

Amy Clare is a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich in the BioSysteM Cluster of Excellence. Her work explores how scientific agendas are intervening in and designing life – from the molecular to the planetary – as potential solutions to issues that crosscut natureculture dimensions, like public health concerns (e.g., organ shortages, zoonotic disease), climate change and shifting ecosystems (agricultural risks, ecological degradation) and the reverberating societal implications.

Her Ph.D. focused on CRISPR-Cas-mediated xenotransplantation science as a field at the intersection of agriculture and biomedicine. Her dissertation showcased how biotechnology development is entangled with the political economy of animal agriculture and traced the implications this has for human-animal-environment relations. She is particularly interested in emerging genetic technologies, human-animal-environment relations, veterinary anthropology, ethnography and feminist science studies.
