Abstract
While funding agencies promote transdisciplinary approaches, significant barriers persist. Successful transdisciplinary research (TDR) demands embracing different ways of knowing, addressing power imbalances, and accepting slower, more complex research processes. Drawing from the experience with BactoHealing, the authors demonstrate how genuine transdisciplinarity requires courage, trust, and institutional support to challenge traditional frameworks.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Biotechnology publishes reviews and perspectives on the applied biological sciences, focusing on useful science applied to, derived from, or inspired by living systems.
The major themes that TIBTECH is interested in include:
Bioprocessing (biochemical engineering, applied enzymology, industrial biotechnology, biofuels, metabolic engineering)
Omics (genome editing, single-cell technologies, bioinformatics, synthetic biology)
Materials and devices (bionanotechnology, biomaterials, diagnostics/imaging/detection, soft robotics, biosensors/bioelectronics)
Therapeutics (biofabrication, stem cells, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, antibodies and other protein drugs, drug delivery)
Agroenvironment (environmental engineering, bioremediation, genetically modified crops, sustainable development).
