Abstract

This paper analyses a number of factors which are implicated in the success of biomedical innovation processes in the United Kingdom (UK): the observability of the innovation process to the participants; the role and interests of UK public and private sector networks; and the ability of the wider constituency to push or drive the innovation process. This study addresses four ongoing developments (familial breast cancer diagnosis, cystic fibrosis gene therapy, inherited eye disease gene therapy and breast cancer screening). The paper draws directly on research funded by the ESRC. Documentary evidence has been analysed for relevant information together with information derived from semi-structured interviews. This has taken account of the key contributions over time from differing professional groups, public and commercial organisations (including user groups) and sectors.
