Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2004.

As intellectual property protection has expanded and the distinction between basic life science research and applied biotechnology erodes, academic labs are increasingly collaborating with firms on research. Using citation analysis, content analysis, network analysis and interviews, I examine how public and private values, research and funds combine in pursuit of collaborative discoveries. This dissertation investigates how collaborations with industry shape the practice, focus, and outcomes of academic science. Focusing on the case of plant biotechnology, I map the relationships among scientists and the public, private, and nonprofit organizations involved in research on the genetic model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. My findings suggest that industrial partnerships make science less novel and more commercial; they influence scientists to be less persistent in their inquiry and less apt to share research with their colleagues. These partnerships exert their effects unequally, however, by improving the academic quality of research performed by central, high status scientists and universities while degrading those qualities for those peripheral. Across the entire web of connected ideas, phenomena and methods that constitutes the frontier of science, industrial partnerships influence the topics they investigate to become less central in this web, but even more critical to its connectedness. In this way, even as industry collaboration expands the web of academic science, it makes that web more fragile.
