معرفی
Dr. Frederique Bone is a Research Fellow at the Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU) within the University of Sussex Business School. She holds a PhD from the University of Strasbourg and has over eight years of specialized experience in biotech innovation research and research evaluation methodologies. Her position as Associate Faculty reflects her significant contributions to the academic community through both research and teaching activities.
Dr. Bone earned her PhD from the University of Strasbourg, where she focused on biotech research projects through academic entrepreneurship at BETA. Following her doctoral studies, she worked on an MRC research project developing the DARE (Diversity Approach for Research Evaluation) framework, which has become central to her research portfolio. Her educational background in both MSc and PhD programs has provided her with a strong foundation in science policy and research evaluation.
Her primary research focuses on developing and applying innovative research evaluation methodologies, particularly the DARE framework she helped develop. She examines technological change in biomedical sectors with special attention to cancer diagnostics development. More recently, she has expanded her work to include artificial intelligence's impact on research practices and business policies.
- Current Project 1: Understanding researcher collaboration in diverse teams (DARE project)
- Current Project 2: Tracing historical mass production patterns through textual analysis of newspapers/magazines over 150 years (Deep Transitions project)
- Current Project 3: Analyzing diagnostic technology trends in colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer (CancerScreen project)
Dr. Bone's publication record reveals a consistent trajectory of methodological innovation in research evaluation, with increasing focus on mixed-method approaches combining scientometric analysis with qualitative insights. Her work demonstrates strong policy relevance, particularly in research funding systems and evaluation frameworks. The evolution of her research shows progression from biotech innovation studies to broader applications in research policy, with recent expansion into AI-related research dynamics. Her publications frequently address practical implementation challenges in research evaluation systems across different contexts.
Dr. Bone has secured research funding from multiple prestigious sources including UK Research and Innovation, Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council, and Research England. Her grants portfolio demonstrates her ability to secure competitive funding for projects addressing critical challenges in research evaluation and science policy. Notable grants include:
- Opening-up technology futures (2022-2024)
- Advancing therapeutics projects through UKSPINE's pipeline (2022)
- MRC Secondment (2021-2022)
- UK SPINE Knowledge Exchange Evaluation (2020-2021)
- How can team science be better evaluated? (2019-2021)
- Foresight Study on European Stakeholder Appraisal of Diagnostics (2016-2018)
She teaches 'Introductory Data Science for Innovation', a module for Science and Technology Policy Master Students at the University of Sussex. This course, which she has taught consistently from 2020-2021, helps students develop programming skills in R while applying data collection and analysis techniques to innovation data. Her teaching directly connects to her research expertise in scientometrics and data-driven research evaluation.
