Science Ethics Institute to join in addressing research Grand Challenges

iSEI is to join the Faculty of Life Sciences from the August 2012. The work of iSEI is conducted within the context of current and future trends in life sciences, and involves ‘bench-scientists’ as much as those with backgrounds in ethics, law, philosophy and governance. An excellent example of this is iSEI’s recent public panel on ‘Human Bodies: Animal Bodies’.
