Summary
'Synthesizing Hope' opens up the material and social worlds of pharmaceuticals by focusing on a distinctive place: iThemba Pharmaceuticals. Founded in 2009 with a name taken from the Zulu word for hope, the small South African startup with an elite international scientific board was founded with a mission of finding new drugs for tuberculosis, HIV, and malaria. The text uses this synthetic chemistry company as an entry point for exploring how the location of scientific knowledge production matters.
