PHIL 543B: Medical Ethics: The Ethics of Human Experimentation
Jonathan Kimmelman's research centers on the ethical, social, and policy challenges in testing novel medical technologies in human beings ("translational clinical research"). Current projects are investigating risk, prediction, validity and knowledge value across the trajectory of drug development. Another set of projects is pursuing alternative frameworks and understandings concerning the role and content of clinical research ethics. Kimmelman directs the Group for Studies of Translation, Ethics, and Medicine (Stream). Click here to learn more about specific research projects.
