Oliwia Mandrela is a PhD candidate in Sociology at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. Her research explores visions of futures linked to the development of longevity biotechnology in the US and China. The aim is to better understand what futures of age manipulation are being imagined and by whom. She also examines how knowledge is produced and justified in this field, what hopes, fears, risk, and uncertainties are reflected, and what changes in our understanding of biological life may emerge from this field.
