BIOS
BIOS is an international centre for research and policy on social aspects of the life sciences and biomedicine. Our ethos is one of empirically grounded and conceptually sophisticated research, conducted in close relation with life scientists, clinicians and policy makers. Our work addresses issues of justice, power and inequality, of geopolitics and of social and individual identity.
Current major research projects focus on regenerative medicine, social aspects of the neurosciences and psychopharmacology, biosecurity, biopolitics, bioeconomics, translational biology and bioethics. We run an innovative Masters programme in Biomedicine and Society attracting students from backgrounds in many disciplines in the social and life sciences.
The BIOS community of over 40 researchers includes a large number of doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, research staff, visiting fellows and professors and associated faculty. All those who are interested in these issues are welcome to join our mailing list, and attend our many events, including a regular seminar series, public lectures, workshops and conferences.
