Genética molecular bacteriana, Guerra Fria, Fernando Bastarrachea, História Global da CiênciaResumo
No início do novo milênio, para sermos mais precisos, em 2001, começou um trabalho que na época acabou se revelando uma tarefa titânica. O projeto de sequenciamento do genoma da bactéria Rhizobium etli - uma bactéria fixadora de nitrogênio simbiótica com a planta do feijão - foi o primeiro a ser realizado no México e os resultados só foram publicados alguns anos mais tarde. Mas como a biologia molecular e a engenharia genética chegaram ao México? Entre as muitas maneiras e caminhos que podem levar a uma resposta, escolhemos o trabalho de laboratório do Dr. Fernando Bastarrachea Avilés (1933-2011) e sua trajetória para responder a esta pergunta, mas principalmente como a prática da genética molecular bacteriana foi construída no México durante os últimos anos da Guerra Fria (1970-1980). Como primeiro passo, usamos a história global da ciência, onde as unidades de análise histórica são a circulação do conhecimento e as redes de colaboração. Como segundo passo, realizamos entrevistas qualitativas profundas com ex alunos daquele laboratório nos anos 80. Consequentemente, nosso objetivo é prestar contas do processo de construção de redes sociotécnicas, focalizadas no campo da microbiologia, através da análise de temas de pesquisa, da participação em redes acadêmicas e do estabelecimento de novos centros de pesquisa.
