| Content | With the advancement of medicine and biotechnology and the continuous challenges they keep posing to society, the field of bioethics continues to evolve and grow. Funding agencies worldwide (e.g. European Commission, Genome Canada, US funds) routinely require the integration of an ethics part in scientific projects in order to identify (and, if possible, prevent or minimize) adverse consequences of biotechnology and to increase the credibility and transparency of biomedical scientific projects. In addition, ethical expertise is becoming a regular requirement for researchers in different scientific areas. The seminar will present research activities in bioethics focusing on areas that have a particular relationship with the University of Basel. |
