The Global Health Bioethics Network

The Global Health Bioethics Network is a programme to carry out ethics research and build ethics capacity across the Wellcome Trust’s Major Overseas Programmes in Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Thailand-Laos, and Viet Nam. The Network is funded by a Wellcome Trust Strategic Award (2012 - 2016) and is a partnership between the Ethox Centre and the following institutions: KEMRI-Wellcome Unit, Kilifi, Kenya; Malawi-Liverpool Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Programme, Blantyre, Malawi; Africa Centre for Health and Population Studies, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa; Mahidol Oxford Research Unit, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand; Oxford Clinical Research Unit, Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam.

The Oxford Bioethics Network

The Oxford Bioethcs Network promotes world-class interdisciplinary research by leaders in ethics, law and medical sciences. It comprises seven research centres in the University of Oxford concerned with the ethical, legal and social aspects of biomedical and healthcare developments: The Ethox Centre, the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, the Centre for Health, Law and Emerging Technologies (HeLEX), the Oxford Centre for Neuroethics, the Progam on Ethics of the New Biosciences, and, the Future of Humanity Institute.

The Oxford Biomedical Research Centre

The Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (OxBRC) is a partnership between the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust and the University of Oxford.  It has been made possible by a grant from the Department of Health's National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The Oxford BRC undertakes 'translational research', which means taking laboratory research into a clinical setting. This kind of research is about first-time studies of medical innovations in patients, which are intended to improve healthcare delivery for the benefit of all patients.

Oxford-Mount Sinai Consortium on Bioethics

The consortium is an interdisciplinary collaboration that emphasizes faculty development and encourages faculty from both medicine and academia to devote some of their research attention to bioethical issues. Participants include Mount Sinai School of Medicine, The Graduate Center, CUNY, Union Graduate School, Oxford University, King’s College London, The Free University of Amsterdam, and Bar Ilan University. The conference venue alternates between Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, Oxford University, and King’s College London.

GABEX (Global Alliance of Biomedical Ethics Centers)

GABEX is an international network of the world’s major research institutions in the field including the Hastings Center, National Institute of Health, University of Pennsylvania, and Case Western Reserve University (USA), the University of Oxford (UK), University of Bergen (Norway), Monash University (Australia), National University of Singapore (Singapore), and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (Germany). GABEX aims at the establishment of an international standard of education and research in biomedical ethics, and promotes study abroad research opportunities for promising young researchers.

The Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Network (MalariaGEN)

MalariaGEN is a partnership of researchers in 21 countries who are using genomic epidemiology to understand how protective immunity against malaria works, which is a fundamental problem in malaria vaccine development. This work is jointly funded by the Wellcome Trust and by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, through the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, as part of the Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative.
