Research at CRB
Our research deals with ethical, legal and social aspects of medicine and biology (bioethics) and the application of ethical principles and values to different scientific topics (research ethics).
Our research topics cover a wide range of ethical questions related to biobanks and registry research, ethical review, informed consent, medical treatment of patients, nursing, explanations of human consciousness, quality of life, end of life care and more.
The methods we use range from analytical philosophical methods to empirical studies using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
In 2011, Uppsala University conducted an overall evaluation of the University's research, "Quality and Renewal 2011" where we received a top quality grade.
