I work on EASTM, especially the diverse collection of practices falling under the descriptive label “Korean medicine” (c. 1945-present), encompassing both traditional (TKM / 한의학)) and biomedicine (서양의학) as practice; and also have a growing interest in doing comparative work with Singapore, Taiwan, North Korea, and Japan for the period, 1945-present. At NUS, our STS group has recently completed a three year project (2010-2013), “Asian Biopoleis,” devoted to the emerging role of the life sciences / biotech in “Asia” (broadly conceived).
