BIOETHICS FOR BIOENGINEERS
BIOENGINEERING DEPARTMENTAL HONORS SERVICE PROJECT
As part of a Departmental Honors community service project, I co-founded Bioethics for Bioengineers, a website to educate engineers and scientists about ethical issues related to clinical research and biotechnology. With a group of four other bioengineering students, I compiled and authored bioethics content on topics ranging from neuroethics to stem cell research to accessibility to end-of-life care. I had the opportunity to synthesize my interdisciplinary bioengineering and bioethics training to create a resource for other students.

"Bioethics for Bioengineers is motivated by the potential for ethically-minded bioengineers to address healthcare disparities and social justice issues in their work as industry leaders, entrepreneurs, allied health professionals, and research scientists. By educating future medical innovators on global bioethics, public health, disability studies, healthcare resource allocation, gene-editing technologies, and more, this project has the potential to create leaders who develop accessible technology, conduct ethical research, and understand the important of effective science communication." - Project Proposal
