Co-developing materials in the metamorphic zone: extending bacteriocentricity (2024)
Journal Article
Moreira, T., & Staykova, M. (online). Co-developing materials in the metamorphic zone: extending bacteriocentricity. Science, Technology, & Human Values, https://doi.org/10.1177/01622439241296898

Engineered living materials (ELM) are composite technologies that respond to environmental cues, are able to remodel, self-organise and self-heal. Proposed as a fusion of synthetic biology and classical materials science, ELMs are seen as having the...

The Value of Experience: A historical sociology of data-driven health care systems (2024)
Journal Article
Moreira, T. The Value of Experience: A historical sociology of data-driven health care systems. Manuscript submitted for publication

One of the key expectations associated with health data is its potential ability to make health systems more reactive, adaptable (‘smart’) and efficient, by integrating patient generated information into the digital infrastructure of these systems. O... Read More about The Value of Experience: A historical sociology of data-driven health care systems.
