How does a field of science evolve? What are the historical, social, ethical, and regulatory mechanisms that influence the evolution of a certain science? We explore these large questions in collaboration with other scientists, sociologists, historians, and philosophers in the UCLA Institute for Society & Genetics, the UCLA EpiCenter, the UCLA’s Sustainable Technology and Policy Program (STPP), as well as through a vast number of international collaborations. Some of this work is linked below:

The Food Preservatives Market is driven by rising demand for extended shelf-life and safety in packaged foods. With growing consumer awareness of food quality and hygiene, both natural and synthetic preservatives are seeing increased use across bakery, dairy, meat, and convenience food sectors. The market is also witnessing a shift toward clean-label and organic preservative solutions, aligning with health-conscious consumer trends.
