  1. Following Techniques Ethnographic explorations of the translation process in health research Dr Shirlene Badger and Dr Richard Milne CIPH/PHGF

  2. We know little about how particular technologies emerge or are identified as appropriate for clinical implementation or how people work together to make implementation happen. Similarly, we have scant understanding of the environment, practices and conditions by which implementation of novel techniques are enabled or blocked. Background

  3. The Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) Established in 2007 by the NIHR “outstanding NHS and University partnerships in the country” Remit is to lead the way in translating basic science as early adoptors of new insights in techniques for improving health In 2012, the SAB heralded the Cambridge BRC as a national example for its achievements in translational research Background

  4. - To map the historical, geographical and scientific spaces that have allowed for the particular conceptualisation of implementation across biomedical case studies. - To explore how particular practices are constituted across different research contexts and are brought together in order to create and support the possibility of translational research and implementation. - To unravel the boundaries of the translational research enterprise and translational tensions. - To explore the common and unique social and ethical issues within the process of translation. objectives

  5. Component One: examine the historical possibilities that have allowed for the conceptual application of a technique in a particular context Component Two: Detailed observational work. “Ethnographies have a key role in creating a more efficient, more effective, more equitable and more humane health care system, particularly in illuminating the organizational and interactional processes through which health care is delivered” (Murphy and Dingwall, 2007). Our focus here is on ‘technique watching’ and the mapping tools of Situational Analysis. Component Three: Interview studies to support the prior two components. Methodological components

  6. Ethnographic case studies: whole genome sequencing for the real time identification of infectious disease and mapping of outbreaks; exome sequencing for stream-lining the process of diagnosis of rare diseases for which the gene is known; development of cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases; the translational work of platform development and infrastructure and the ‘re-purposing’ of dementia research participation. What are we doing?
