Summary

What you’ll be able to do

  • Understand current and past legal, political and social issues related to regenerative medicine. This includes laws and regulations, but also an understanding of clinical ethics issues, translational research and commercialization, and emerging, novel techniques requiring careful ethical consideration.

  • Understand more about relations of science, the state, and public, particularly around controversial or novel innovations and will learn how best to address emerging controversies and public concerns ethically in their professional careers.

  • Learn the guidelines for the responsible conduct of research for stem cell science, where to access regulatory and oversight documents, and how to apply for research protocols with ethics oversight.

  • Gain analytical skills for addressing policy, legal and social issues through research and writing exercises. Analytical and professional presentation skills will also be learned through classroom interactions and discussion.
