Amy has an MSc and PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Before joining Warwick in 2013, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford and University of London. Her research draws on sociology and the social studies of science to examine twentieth and twenty-first century life sciences and biomedicine. She is currently working on a Wellcome Trust funded project which investigates how the category human is defined, approached and governed in context of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, looking particularly at interspecies mammalian chimeras. Other ongoing research includes changing forms of ownership and property in the life sciences and the intersections between genetics and identity.
