Ethical Challenges of Data-Intensive Biomarkers in Medical Research, Clinical Settings and Global Health Contexts
The concrete outputs of my residency at Brocher Foundation will be the two articles for peer review.
During my stay at Brocher Foundation, I aim:
to develop further my ethical work on data-intensive biomarkers and AI-driven polygenic risk scores,
to present and discuss my work with researchers at Brocher Foundation as well as further research and other institutions in Geneva,
to use the new perspectives for my research gained by the intellectually stimulating environment at Brocher Foundation and the exchange with the multidisciplinary scholars there. The exchange of ideas and inspiration in such an environment would enrich my work fostering a more comprehensive understanding of the ethical use of data-intensive biomarkers and Embedded Ethics approaches.
to delve deeper into my theoretical-philosophical work on global justice theories and epistemic injustice how to integrate the theoretical considerations in Embedded Ethics approaches that integrate clinical ethics approaches,
to integrate the insights from my literature reviews, empirical studies, and theoretical examinations in the development of policy recommendations,
to create a framework that combines Embedded Ethics and clinical ethics approaches for the ethical use of data-intensive biomarkers and AI-driven polygenic risk scores, using specific common diseases as examples. Two key aspects would facilitate this process.
to engage with stakeholders from international organisations in Geneva, as well as policy makers and regulators in the field of medicine and healthcare. This aspect is pertinent to my work on combining the Embedded Ethics approach and clinical ethics approaches for the ethical use of data-intensive biomarkers in various settings including public and global health settings.
to discuss my ideas, research findings and frameworks with experts in policy development, regulators, and international organisations during the residency to make them even more meaningful and applicable for multi-stakeholder settings and different contexts.
to produce impactful contributions to the field, fostering ethical practices surrounding data-intensive biomarkers.
