Abstract
In order for the anthropologist to study the effects of personalized medicine (PM) on health care, he needs to capture the experts' ways of knowing and doing and analysing their reflexes on society. Methodologically speaking, two questions arise here: What characteristics should an ethnography have to capture and describe PM's experts' ways of knowing and doing? What processes should be performed to anthropologically analyse the impact of these modes on the society at large? The purpose of this article is to reflect on the hypothesis that participation in collaborative projects can provide the conditions for the accomplishment of such an endeavour.
