Course description The course will familiarize students with the ethical underpinnings of bioinformatics research. By the end of the course, students will have a vocabulary and framework by which to recognize, discuss and responsibly address ethics in computational biology research. This course is central to the educational mission of our Computational Bioscience PhD program. Goals for the course: The course will familiarize students with the bright lines (that ought not to be crossed in the course of research), the big picture (that conceptualizes bioinformatics research in the wider world), and the deep questions (that our research activities could address). Specific learning objectives include:
This isn't a lecture course. Each of 90 minute session will involve the students directly in discussions, role-playing exercises and other active learning approaches. Students will also be involved in selecting the topics covered and the methods by which we investigate them. Each student is expected to create an ethics notebook (like a lab notebook), reflecting their reading, writing and thinking on ethical topics. The goal is for these portfolios to both allow the teachers to assess the students' work and to provide a vehicle to organize the student's ongoing ethical development. We hope you decide to continue to keep an ethics notebook your entire career. In addition to attending these face-to-face course meetings, you are required to complete the online education in the responsible conduct of research for biomedicine (full course) through Canvas (detailed directions).
This tentative syllabus may evolve as the course progresses. Follow the links for each meeting to find activities, readings, etc..

Honor Code The Graduate School requires that this honor code be included in all course syllabi.Education at the Health Sciences Center is conducted under the honor system. All students who have entered health professional programs should have developed the qualities of honesty and integrity, and each student should apply these principles to his or her academic and subsequent professional career. All students are also expected to have achieved a level of maturity, which is reflected by appropriate conduct at all times. Note that our educational mission statement includes even stronger goals for your professional behavior. Please feel free to raise issues related to those goals in class. |
