Trent Center faculty and faculty associates engage in bioethics research spanning a wide spectrum of issues, from health care policy and genome ethics to women and reproductive health; from global health, justice and access to health care resources to economics of clinical research; from use of technology, medical decision making, and behavioral economics to access to experimental therapy, conflict of interest and protection of human subjects. They work in various areas including medicine, philosophy, history, law, economics, women's health and global health. These disciplines inform their rigorous examination of critical issues that are constantly evolving with new biotechnology, medical discoveries and changing health care systems.
