Genome Finland: From Rare Diseases to Data EconomyIlpo Helén, Karoliina Snell, Heta Tarkkala & Aaro Tupasela Genome Finland analyses medical genomics in Finland from the study of rare Finnish diseases in 1960s and 1970s to the implementation of personalised medicine in the 2020s. With an emphasis on the 21st century, the monograph looks at the evolution of biobanks and biobank research as well as the dominance of large transnational public–private partnership projects that use massive amounts of genome and patient data. Genome Finland examines and exposes the connections between biomedical science, knowledge-based economy and business, and innovation policy in Finland. |

An Anthropology of CrosslocationsSarah Green, Samuli Lähteenaho, Phaedra Douzina-Bakalaki, Carl Rommel, Joseph Viscomi, Laia Soto Bermant & Patricia Scalco An Anthropology of Crosslocations introduces a new approach to understanding location. Geographical space is often perceived as divided by state borders, but it can also be classified and segmented based on, for example, ecosystems or religious structures and beliefs. The book shows how different locating logics coexist in a single place and how this influences people's lives. The authors are anthropologists who draw on ethnographic and historical research from locations across the Mediterranean region. |
