Franco-British workshop on responsible innovation London, 23-24 May 2011 Ken DONALDSON Professor of Respiratory Toxicology Scientific Director of the ELEGI Colt Laboratory - Queens Medical Research Insititute, University of Edinburgh Ken Donaldson (KD) is the Scientific Director of the ELEGI Colt Laboratory in the Queens Medical Research Insititute, University of Edinburgh, where he is Professor of Respiratory Toxicology. Ken is recognized as an expert in the mechanisms of lung disease caused by inhaled particles and fibres in ambient and workplace air. In this capacity he has provided expert opinion and consultancy to the US Environmental Protection Agency (North Carolina), US Health Effects Institute (Massachusetts), World Health Organisation, International Agency for Research on Cancer (Lyon France), WHO Air Quality and Health (Bonn, Germany), UK Medical Research Council, UK Health and Safety Executive, etc. Ken has sat on government committees pertaining to toxicology of air pollutants – Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollution (COMEAP) and Expert Panel on Air Quality Standards (EPAQS) and Advisory committee on Hazardous Substances. He has published over 300 scientific papers review and book chpaters on lung injury caused by inhaled particles and over 100 on ultrafine particles/ nanoparticles. He currently has a research programme into the adverse effects of nanoparticles on the lungs and cardiovascular system, high aspect ratio nanoparticles and structure/toxicity relationships for nanoparticles. He is Founding Editor of the journal ‘Particle and Fibre Toxicology’ and Co-Editor of the textbook ‘Particle Toxicology’, (2007). Robert FALKNER Senior Lecturer in International Relations - London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Senior Research Fellow - LSE Global Governance Dr Robert Falkner is Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and Senior Research Fellow at LSE Global Governance. He directs the Nanotechnology Policy and Regulation programme at LSE and in 2008-2009 coordinated an international research project on EU and US nanomaterials regulation, which resulted in the publication of the Chatham House report Securing the Promise of Nanotechnologies: Towards Transatlantic Regulatory Cooperation (2009). Robert holds Masters degrees in Politics and Economics from Munich University and a doctorate in International Relations from Oxford University. In 2006-07, he was a visiting scholar at Harvard University. He is the author of Business Power and Conflict in International Environmental Politics (Palgrave 2008) and editor of The International Politics of Genetically Modified Food: Diplomacy, Trade and Law (Palgrave 2007). Erik FISHER Assistant professor of Political Science - Arizona State University Erik Fisher is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Arizona State University. He holds a joint appointment in the School of Politics and Global Studies and the Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes. He serves as the Assistant Director for International Activities of the Center for Nanotechnology in Society (CNS-ASU). Fisher also serves as Principal Investigator of the STIR (Socio-Technical Integration Research) project, which coordinates over 20 laboratory engagement studies in a dozen nations and as co-leader of a CNS-ASU research thrust. Fisher’s research interests are in governance of emerging technologies, research policy, the public value of science, and midstream modulation. He co-edited the first volume of the Yearbook of Nanotechnology in Society and has published in Science and Public Policy, Scientometrics, Technology in Society and EMBO Reports. Fisher holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Studies (University of Colorado, Boulder), an MA in Classics (University of Colorado, Boulder) and a BA in Philosophy and Mathematics (St. John’s College, Annapolis). Andy GIBBS Head of the Education, Economy, Business and Society Research Team - ESRC Andy Gibbs has worked for the ESRC since 1981 in a range of roles, primarily in corporate activities. Between 2007 and 2009 he was seconded to RCUK as a workstream lead in the project to establish a new Shared Services Centre for the Research Councils. Since January 2010, he has been the Head of the Education, Economy, Business and Society Research Team in the ESRC’s Research Directorate responsible for developing 8
Franco-British workshop on responsible innovation London, 23-24 May 2011 and commissioning research in these areas. He represents ESRC on the Cross-Council Nanotechnologies Coordination Group. Nicola GOLDBERG Portfolio Manager, EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) Nicola Goldberg has worked at the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for 5 years, most recently in the Nanotechnology and Healthcare Programmes. She currently coordinates EPSRC’s Responsible Innovation activity which has included a pilot study on how Responsible Innovation could be operationally implemented within our research funding activities. Alexei GRINBAUM Researcher - CEA-LARSIM - Saclay Alexei Grinbaum is a researcher at CEA-LARSIM located in Saclay near Paris. His main interest is in the philosophy of physics and the foundations of quantum mechanics. Since 2003 he has also been working on the ethical and social aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Grinbaum's early publications in this area focus on the uncertainty of technological progress and the problem of governance, including a critique of the precautionary principle ("Living With Uncertainty: Toward a Normative Assessment of Nanotechnology", Techné 8(2):4-25, 2004), and on public perception of nanotechnology ("Cognitive Barriers in Perception of Nanotechnology," Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics, 34(4): 689-694, 2006). His later work bears on the question of narratives of nanotechnology ("The Nanotechnological Golem", Nanoethics, 4(3):191-198, 2010). He is a coordinator for France of the European observatory of nanotechnology, where his principal contribution is the Toolkit for Ethical Reflection and Communication on Nanotechnology (http://www.observatorynano.eu/project/catalogue/4ET). He is a frequent speaker at public debates on nanotechnology and science & society conferences both in France and internationally. Richard HANDY Director of the Ecotoxicology Research and Innovation Centre - University of Plymouth Professor Richard D. Handy is a fish toxicologist and comparative physiologist with 20+ years experience and is the Director of the Ecotoxicology Research and Innovation Centre at the University of Plymouth. The centre has a strong theme on nanoscience: (http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/research/eric). Professor Handy has published over 100 papers and book chapters on fish ecotoxicology, including about 20 papers on nanomaterials in the last 3 years. Prof. Handy is expert on the dietary uptake of contaminants in fish including methods for making diets containing nanomaterials, and protocols for in vivo exposure from the food. He is expert on epithelial biology/unstirred layer chemistry and the role of mucus in uptake across membranes; and has detailed expertise on membrane transport systems and mechanisms of uptake. His laboratory is recognised for in vitro organ perfusion techniques for measuring uptake (e.g. gut and gill perfusions in fish, other organs in mammals) and he is an expert histopathologist with an extensive archive of nanopathologies from different animals, and unique expertise on brain pathologies from nanomaterials in fish. His laboratory is currently investigating TiO 2 , Cu-NPs, Ag-NPs, SW-CNT, and C 60 . His work is supported by national level grants (e.g., Natural Environment Research Council, UK) and in EU partnerships (e.g., NanoImpactNet). He has written several reviews on manufactured NPS, edited special issues, reported on test methods to the UK government (founder member of the UK task force), and via the OECD working party on nanomaterials. He also has a clinical research programme that includes cardiotoxicology, and more recently the risks of nanomaterials in dentistry. Pierre-Benoît JOLY Economist and sociologist, Directeur de recherche at the National Institute of Agronomic Research (INRA) Pierre-Benoît Joly, economist and sociologist, is Directeur de recherche at the National Institute of Agronomic Research (INRA) in France. He holds a degree in agronomy (1982), a PhD in economics (1987) and the “Habilitation à diriger les recherches” (1995).
