Carrie Friese’s research is in medical sociology and science and technology studies, with a focus on reproduction across humans and animals. Her initial research focused on the use of assisted reproductive technologies for human reproduction in the context of infertility. She then explored the development of interspecies nuclear transfer (aka cloning) for endangered species preservation in zoos.

Building on her research, she am currently completing a book entitled “More-than-human Humanitarianism: Care, Science and Inequity.” This book asks what laboratory animals look like through the lens of humanitarianism, and what humanitarianism looks like through the lens of laboratory animals in order to analyse the benefits and limitations of the logics and practices of relating that are not necessarily visible through rights-based discourses.
