The Embryo Project

Embryo Project Research Network | Embryo Project Encyclopedia

The Embryo Project examines the changing scientific understanding of embryos. We look at the people who have done embryo research, the places they worked, their research practices, the literature they produced, important concepts, and the scientific and social/legal/ethical/religious/policy contexts and images with which they worked.

The Embryo Project consists of two dynamic, interactive, integrative, interdisciplinary, and internationally collaborative parts.

The Embryo Project Research Network is a collaborative scholarly research project involving an expanding international group of scholars and institutions. They work through a digital collaboratory to discover, collect, analyze, and generate usable knowledge exploring all aspects of embryo research. The result is available to scholars and multiple user groups of the general public as part of the Embryo Project Encyclopedia.

The Embryo Project is supported by the National Science Foundation, Arizona State University, the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, and the MBL WHOI Library.
