Neonatal Ethics Lab

We are the academic home for bioethics research and scholarship in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at University of Michigan. 

We collaborate with and welcome experts and learners in all aspects of pediatric bioethics, within and outside of the institution. 

Our goal is to advance the health and wellbeing of children and families via empirical and normative bioethics scholarship, clinical and research training, and clinical program development. 

We are proud to serve as the pilot lab for the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM). Visit the CBSSM website to learn more about Clinical Ethics, Research Ethics, and research and scholarship in Bioethics and Decision Science. You can also follow CBSSM on social media
