50th Anniversary of the Institute for Bioethics and Health Humanities Timeline

In April of 1970, both The University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Science at Houston and The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston sponsored the symposium "Humanism in Medicine" that would help shape and give impetus to the new institute that would emerge at UTMB in 1973. This new institute would be dedicated to medicine and the humanities.

Dr. Alberto Aparicio publishes in BioSocieties

Mar 20, 2024, 14:10 PM by IBHH

The new article by Dr. Alberto Aparicio is entitled, "Accept no limits: biocontainment and the construction of a safer space for experimentation in xenobiology as a legacy of Asilomar."

In this article, Dr. Aparicio suggests that the Asilomar conference of 1975 left a legacy of biocontainment as both an agenda of design principles in genetic engineering, and a way to reorder science-society relationships, which synthetic biologists and xenobiologists have adopted.
