Research
CBmE is one of the largest academic research centres for bioethics in Asia. From our key research platforms in clinical, health systems and public health ethics, ethics and regulation of emergent science and biomedical technologies, and research ethics and regulation, we have developed internationally-recognised expertise in topical bioethical issues that impact the region. Our work engages with these issues from interdisciplinary perspectives in philosophy, law and social science, to promote critical inquiry, foster dialogue and produce rigorous theoretical and empirical analyses. We strive to generate outputs that are policy-relevant and accessible to broad base professional, academic and non-academic communities.
