Lotte Krabbenborg currently works as postdoctoral researcher at the Radboud University in the Netherlands. She has a background in the Humanities, with specialization in political philosophy.

Her research focuses on the role of civil society actors in the governance of emerging technologies. She is particularly interested in examining how the present public sphere can be extended to effectively include emerging technologies as topic for deliberation and negotiation. In her PhD thesis (2013) she studied these topics within the field of nanotechnology. Her thesis was part of the TA program of the Dutch R&D consortium Nanoned. As a postdoctoral researcher, she continues this line of research within the domains of biobased economy and genomics, now also examining the affordances that social media provides for having emerging technologies as topic for deliberation in the public sphere.
