BORTZ, Gabriela; VASEN, Federico  and  ROSEMANN, Achim. Entre oportunidad y riesgo: Regulación, expectativas y políticas CTI para células madre en Argentina. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2017, n.54, pp.38-74. ISSN 1851-1716.

In Argentina, scientists and Science, Technology and Innovation (sti) public officials identify stem cells as a strategic priority. This policy definition is translated into a growing state effort to promote capacity building in this technology through programs, funding and debates to generate a specific regulatory framework. This work aims to explore how state support for research and development (R&D) in stem cells is locally built. With this purpose, we explore the tension between investment in capacity building and the construction of expectations on income revenues, hopes for potential therapeutic applications, and potential risks. We will show how the attempts to generate a specific regulation, driven by actors linked to sti policy, seek to mediate between risk and expectations shaping research and locally developed products for positioning the country as an international player in this emerging technology.

Keywords : Stem cells; Regenerative medicine; STI policies; Regulation; Bioeconomy.
