Research

ERIK AARDEN is working on his PhD dissertation with the Department of Health, Ethics and Society of Maastricht University. His research explores the rationalities behind the organization and provision of genetic health services in health care delivery schemes in the Netherlands, Germany, and Britain. Within this area, his work focuses on the politics of provision for pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, risk assessment and monitoring for familial breast cancer and diagnosing familial hypercholesterolemia, to make a comparison of both different national contexts and different applications of genetics in medicine.
