Anne Bremer is a senior researcher at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities at the University of Bergen, Norway. Anne’s background is broadly in Science and Technology Studies (STS), and she has been working for ten years on various projects studying how science is employed for complex and uncertain health and environmental challenges. Since 2014 her work has focussed on the ethical, legal and social aspects of cancer research, particularly precision oncology and cancer biomarkers, including what constitutes responsible research in those fields. As a researcher affiliated with the Centre for Cancer Biomarkers in Bergen, Anne is integrated within an interdisciplinary precision oncology community, and works closely with scientists – from oncologists to health economists, health philosophers and ethicists – to nurture critical reflections on the broader social context of their research. This is done in different ways, from courses to seminars, to co-authored pieces. Her experiences have been distilled in various publications, including Mapping Ethical and Social Aspects of Cancer Biomarkers (New Biotechnology; 2016), and co-editing the volume Cancer Biomarkers: Ethics, Economics and Society (Megaloceros Press; 2017). Roger Strand is Professor at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and Humanities and the Centre for Cancer Biomarkers (CCBIO) at the University of Bergen, Norway, and Adjunct Professor at Department of Biotechnology and Food Science, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway. At CCBIO, Strand is the Principal Investigator for Team 4 that researches ethical and societal aspects of cancer biomarkers and cancer research. Originally trained as a natural scientist (PhD, biochemistry 1998), Strand developed research interests in the philosophy of science and has worked on issues of scientific uncertainty and complexity, including the theory of post-normal science. This hasgradually led his research into broader strands of social research, philosophy and broader issues of policy, decision-making and governance at the science-society interface.  He has coordinated two EU FP7 projects (TECHNOLIFE and EPINET), which both addressed the need for more dynamic governance of science in society. He was a member of the National Research Ethics Committee for Science and Technology in Norway (2006-2013) and Chair of the European Commission Expert Group on Indicators for Responsible Research and Innovation (2014-2015). He is one of the Directors of the European Centre for Governance in Complexity.
