Klappentext zu „Synthetic Biology 2020: Frontiers in Risk Analysis and Governance “
Synthetic biology offers powerful remedies for some of the world's most intractable problems, but these solutions are clouded by uncertainty and risk that few strategies are available to address. The incentives for continued development of this emerging technology are prodigious and obvious, and the public deserves assurances that all potential downsides are duly considered and minimized accordingly. Incorporating social science analysis within the innovation process may impose constraints, but its simultaneous support in making the end products more acceptable to society at large should be considered a worthy trade-off.Contributing authors in this volume represent diverse perspectives related to synthetic biology's social sciences, and reflect on different areas of risk analysis and governance that have developed for the field. Such perspectives include leading scholarly discussion pertaining to risk assessment, governance, ethics, and communication. The chapters of thisvolume note that while the first twenty years of synthetic biology development have focused strongly on technological innovation and product development, the next twenty should emphasize the synergy between developers, policymakers, and publics to generate the most beneficial, well governed, and transparent technologies and products possible.Many chapters in this volume provide new data and approaches that demonstrate the feasibility for multi-stakeholder efforts involving policymakers, regulators, industrial developers, workers, experts, and societal representatives to share responsibilities in the production of effective and acceptable governance in the face of uncertain risk probabilities. A full consideration of such perspectives may prevent a world of draconian regulations based on an insufficient or incomplete understanding of the science that underpins synthetic biology, as well as any hesitancy or fear by the public to adopt its eventual products.

Dr. Benjamin D. TRUMP is a Research Social Scientist for the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center. Dr. Trump's work focuses on decision making and governance of activities under significant uncertainty, such as emerging and enabling technologies (synthetic biology, nanotechnology) and developing organizational, infrastructural, social, and informational resilience against systemic threats to complex interconnected systems. Dr. Trump served as a delegate to assist US presence in OECD's Global Science Forum in 2017, and is the President of the Society for Risk Analysis' Decision Analysis and Risk Specialty Group in 2018-2019. He was selected as a Fellow of the Emerging Leaders in Biosecurity Initiative (ELBI), Class of 2019. Dr. Trump was also a contributing author of the International Risk Governance Council's Guidelines for the Governance of Systemic Risks, as well as their 2nd Volume of the Resource Guide on Resilience. Dr. Trump is also frequently active with several Advanced Research Workshops for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Science for Peace Programme, including his role as a Program Committee Lead for a workshop on Biosecurity for Synthetic Biology and Emerging Biotechnologies. Dr. Trump received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan's School of Public Health, Department of Health Management and Policy in 2016. He received an M.S. (2012) in Public Policy and Management and a B.S. in Political Science (2011) from Carnegie Mellon University, and completed his postdoctoral training at the University of Lisbon, Portugal.Dr. Christopher L. CUMMINGS serves as an Assistant Professor of Strategic Communication at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore-a top ranked university in Asia and among the top 15 in the world. He is the Director of the International Strategic Communication Management program and has served in multiple leadership positions within the Society for Risk Analysis. Dr. Cummings' work focuses on advancing public

engagement with science, developing risk communication theory, and improving public health decision-making across the lifespan. An experienced social scientist and communication campaign scholar, Dr. Cummings uses a variety of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods and his work has been featured in applied science and health venues including the Journal of Risk Research, Regulation and Governance, Nanotoxicology, PLOS One, Science, Technology & Human Values, and Climate Research among others. Outside of academia, Dr. Cummings also consults with multiple government agencies across Asia-Pacific on health risk communication issues including dengue fever surveillance and response (Sri Lanka and Singapore), obesity and nutrition access (New Zealand), vaccine communication (Singapore, Australia, and United States), and public engagement with nanotechnology, synthetic biology, and geoengineering (Australia, United States, and Singapore). He also consults privately with various Fortune 500 companies on leadership training, strategic planning, and risk communication initiatives. He completed his B.A. in Communication Studies (California State University, Chico), his M.S. in Communication and PhD in Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media (North Carolina State University), and his postdoctoral work under supervision of Dr. Jennifer Kuzma at the Genetic Engineering and Society Center (North Carolina State University).
