The Ethics and Epistemology of Reflexive Prediction in Epigenetics
Objectives:
1) Develop a full descriptive account of reflexive prediction in medicine
2) Based on the general descriptive account, develop a theoretical model for analysing reflexive prediction in epigenetics
3) Validate the theoretical model through several case studies in epigenetics
4) Identify the normative and epistemic risks of epigenetic reflexive prediction
Expected outcomes: several scientific publications in peer reviewed journals (at least one article submitted by the end of my stay) and one policy brief
1) General descriptive account of reflexive prediction in medicine
2) Theoretical model for analysing reflexive prediction in epigenetics, informed by practice through specific cases
3) Analysis of ethical and epistemic risks of epigenetic reflexive prediction
4) Advisory Policy Brief
