Some considerations on the integration of anthropology in collaborative projects on personalized medicine
Abstract
In order for the anthroplogist to study the effects of personalized medicine (MP) on health care, he needs to capture the experts' ways of knowing and doing and analyzing their reflexes on society. Methodologically speaking, two questions arise here: What characteristics should an ethnography have to capture and describe MP's experts' ways of knowing and doing? What processes should be performed to analyze the impact of these modes on society in general? The purpose of this article is to reflect on the hypothesis that participation in collaborative projects can provide the conditions for the accomplishment of such study.
