Research Ethics - Global Topics

Imperialism, research ethics and global health.

Research Topics

1.A. General description. The proposed research problems concern the aspects of lattice point configurations that are relevant to combinatorial commutative algebra, toric geometry and discrete geometry. Many important special cases of these problems are amenable to algorithmic/computer aided research. They do not require a sophisticated background. Moreover, a nontrivial experimental finding ma...

Global health ethics: an introduction to prominent theories and relevant topics

Global health ethics is a relatively new term that is used to conceptualize the process of applying moral value to health issues that are typically characterized by a global level effect or require action coordinated at a global level. It is important to acknowledge that this account of global health ethics takes a predominantly geographic approach and may infer that the subject relates primari...

Towards an ethics safe harbor for global biomedical research

Although increasingly global, data-driven genomics and other 'omics'-focused research hold great promise for health discoveries, current research ethics review systems around the world challenge potential improvements in human health from such research. To overcome this challenge, we propose a 'Safe Harbor Framework for International Ethics Equivalency' that facilitates the harmonization of eth...
