Interested in the gray areas of ethics, medicine, law, and politics? Concerned about the impact that biotech has on everything from venture capitalism to your privacy?
All students, faculty, and staff are invited to join us in examining the medical, legal, ethical, economic, and political implications that developments in biotechnology have on our society. Speakers from different academic disciplines and biotechnology industry experts will highlight general directions in their areas of expertise with insights punctuated by their personal experiences. The discussion following each lecture will be informal, with plenty of opportunities for questions and debate. Sessions will be announced on the IAP on-line Guide. Keep checking!
