SUMMARY:How Artificial Intelligence Might Save Bioethics (And it’s not how you think)
DESCRIPTION:Eric M. Meslin\, Ph.D. FRSC FCAHS ICD.D\nThursday\, October 24\, 2024\n12:00 – 1:00 pm EST\nLocation: Hybrid: 5302 Roper Hall & Zoom webinar\n\n\nDownload flyer\n\n\nWe’ll share the Zoom link for the talk on October 17.\n  \nBy now society has become familiar with the promised benefits and potential pitfalls of the artificial intelligence revolution. Not since the early years of genetic engineering has a technology captured our imagination and fears so quickly.  But AI has done something else – it has dragged bioethics into unfamiliar territory: this is because AI does not fit comfortably under one category of analysis (e.g.\, research\, policy\, technology development\, public health) nor is even limited to the health sector\, but touches on every sector of society including trade policy\, national security\, banking\, and immigration\, among others.   This is a good thing\, as it calls on bioethics to take stock of how it can (and should) engage in future-altering policy debates.\nAbout the speaker\nEric M. Meslin\, Ph.D. FRSC FCAHS ICD.D has more than 35 years of experience in academic\, government and not for profit settings.\nDr. Meslin is a Distinguished Research Scholar at the University of Miami\, an Adjunct Professor in the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto\, a Visiting Scholar in the Centre of Genomics and Policy at McGill University and a Senior Fellow at the PHG Foundation\, University of Cambridge. He is the former President and CEO of the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) and the former director of the Indiana University Center for Bioethics.\nFrom 2016-2023\, Dr. Meslin was President and CEO of the CCA\, an organization undertaking expert assessments for the government of Canada and other sponsors on society’s most pressing policy issues including climate change\, artificial intelligence\, health data\, transportation\, Arctic research\, Indigenous affairs\, and international science and technology policy.\nDr. Meslin came to the CCA from Indiana University (IU)\, where he was the Founding Director of the Indiana University Center for Bioethics for 15 years\, Associate Dean for Bioethics in the IU School of Medicine\, and Professor of Medicine\, of Medical & Molecular Genetics\, of Bioethics and Law\, of Public Health\, and of Philosophy. In 2012 Dr. Meslin was appointed IU’s first endowed Professor of Bioethics.\nDr. Meslin has held academic positions at the University of Oxford\, as Professor-at-Large at the University of Western Australia\, and as the Pierre de Fermat Chaire d’Excellence at the Université de Toulouse.\nBefore Indiana University\, he was Bioethics Research Director of the Ethical\, Legal and Social Implications program at the U.S. National Human Genome Research Institute\, and then Executive Director of the National Bioethics Advisory Commission appointed by President Bill Clinton.\nDr. Meslin has more than 200 published articles and book chapters on various topics in bioethics and science policy. He has been an advisor and served on committees of the World Health Organization\, the Canadian Institutes for Health Research\, the National Academy of Medicine\, the National Institutes of Health\, Genome Canada\, OECD\, UNESCO and the UK Biobank.

SUMMARY:Early Modern Economies of Care: Practices of Giving and Receiving Care in the 16th and 17th Century
DESCRIPTION:Early Modern Economies of Care: Practices of Giving and Receiving Care in the 16th and 17th Century \nMandy Fowler\,  Doctoral student in English and Comparative Literature at UNC-Chapel Hill \n  \nTuesday\, October 3\, 2023 \n12:00 PM ET\nHybrid lecture \n  \n“Early Modern Economies of Care” explores practices of giving and receiving care as they existed in sixteenth and seventeenth century England. In this presentation\, Mandy will share insights from their research as the 2022-2023 McLendon-Thomas Fellow at UNC-Chapel Hill. As a Rare Books Fellow\, Mandy used a variety of materials in the Wilson Library Rare Books Collection\, including medical guides for physicians and household caregivers\, familial letters and legal documents\, and other printed or manuscript texts to better understand the complexities of caregiving from the perspectives of both the givers and receivers of care. Mandy’s research pays particular attention to the ways in which intellectual and religious movements of the period influenced early modern approaches to care. \n  \nMandy is a doctoral candidate in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at UNC\, where they study early modern literature with an emphasis in the history of medicine\, materiality\, and domestic culture. \n  \nRegister for the virtual presentation \n  \nJoin us in-person in Bondurant Hall\, Room G030

SUMMARY:In Vitro Neural Platforms
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 2\, 2023\n8:00 am – 4:00 pm EST\nLocation: Friday Conference Center\n\n\nDownload flyer\n\nThis is an in-person event; Please visit https://tinyurl.com/28eop7ry to register. \nAs the use of in vitro neural platforms like brain organoids and microtissues increases\, there is a lack of general knowledge about the limitations of the platforms. Bioethicists and scientists may also have concerns about the implications of the use of these systems in clinical and nonclinical research.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Medical:  Genetic Testing for Social Traits
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Webinar \nhttps://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Li3T_5AdQ3alvj5J6EsBLg \nIn traditional predictive genetic testing\, single gene variants are analyzed to determine whether individuals are at high risk of developing disease. The vast majority of diseases\, however\, are polygenic – caused by many different genes. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) hold promise to predict risk for complex diseases like heart disease or diabetes by measuring the contribution of hundreds of genetic variants at once. Yet beyond prediction of medical outcomes\, the realm of ‘sociogenomics’ is developing polygenic scores (PGS) measuring genetic contributions to social traits and behavioral factors\, such as income\, educational attainment\, sexuality\, and optimism. This presentation will present initial findings of a newly-funded NIH grant to study these complex scores. \n  \nAnya Prince is an Associate Professor of Law and member of the University of Iowa Genetics Cluster. Her teaching and research interests explore the ethical\, legal\, and social implications of genomic testing\, with particular focus on genetic discrimination and privacy rights\, the intersection of clinical and research ethics\, and insurance coverage of genetic technologies and interventions. \n \nJean Cadigan is Associate Professor of Social Medicine and a core faculty member in the Center for Bioethics at the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill. Her teaching and research interests focus broadly on clinical and research ethics. She primarily conducts empirical studies that focus on the ethical\, legal\, and social implications of genomic research and practice from the point of view of patients\, research participants\, clinicians\, scientists\, and policy makers. \nBTM 2023.01.20 \n  \nSponsored by:
