The Oxford Bioethics Network

Encouraging interdisciplinary bioethics research and teaching

The Network includes people with interests in health care provision, cloning, stem cell research, human enhancement, mental health, neuroscience, children and adolescent psychiatry, genetic databases/biobanks, e-science, translational research, privacy and confidentiality, resource allocation, global health, disability rights, intellectual property rights, public policy, and the regulation and governance of medical research in relation to genetics and new technologies. 

The aims of the Network are to:

• develop evidence-based theory, policy and practice;
• cultivate research and teaching collaborations that promote interdisciplinary bioethics by interweaving ethics, law and social science methodologies and approaches;
• provide mentorship and support to researchers at all stages of their careers, in order to develop a substantive and sustainable bioethics capacity in the University.
