The field of biomedical research leads to new treatment modalities, many of which raise new ethical issues and demand the design and improved knowledge of ethical guidelines to be implemented.
Following five successful international conferences, The SUNY Downstate Medical Center, the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, and The New York Academy of Sciences are co-hosting a 3-day conference that aims to examine the ethical issues associated with the development of new implants, devices, and treatments to improve the quality of life of patients with devastating diseases. Biomedical engineers, philosophers, research scientists, lawyers, students, clinicians and representatives from industry and federal agencies will convene to explore ethical guidelines to address the controversial nature of many of these new exciting developments in biomedical engineering.
The conference will include keynote lectures, panel discussions, and presentations by invited speakers and individuals selected from submitted abstracts. In addition, the program will feature special sessions devoted to address: (i) ethical issues in Dentistry; (ii) the ethical challenges associated with Rehabilitation Engineering & Medicine; and (iii) Regulation and Reimbursement for Medical Devices.
