During her 2012 visit, McMahon will be developing two manuscripts exploring the regulated and unregulated clinical use of stem cells in China and Brazil. Her previous research has included a comparative analysis of regenerative medicine innovation in China, Brazil and India. McMahon’s research expertise includes biotechnology, science innovation in developing countries, medial “tourism”.
