Dr. Stuart Hogarth

Biography

Stuart Hogarth is an Associate Professor in the Sociology of Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge, where he is a fellow at Robinson College. His research focuses on biomedical innovation, investigating a diverse range of emergent biotechnologies including stem cell therapies and synthetic biology. He has a primary interest in the impact of genomic science on the diagnostics sector and has published extensively on the political economy of diagnostic innovation, with a particular emphasis on regulatory governance and intellectual property rights. Hogarth employs international comparative methodologies to explore the continuing relevance of national institutions and regulatory regimes within healthcare systems, especially as the bioeconomy is increasingly characterized by global governance structures and transnational flows of capital and scientific labor. His work intersects multiple disciplines, including science and technology studies, medical sociology, history of medicine, bioethics, and innovation studies. He has established long-standing collaborative relationships with scholars across these domains and has produced policy reports for organizations such as the European Commission and Health Canada. Furthermore, he has served on the Department of Health's Emerging Science Bioethics Advisory Committee and currently advises the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency on the revision of EU regulations for diagnostic devices.
