IMPACT
Building a framework for ethics in global health research
Biomedical and public health research seeks to solve some of the world's most pressing problems, but failing to understand the social and political context can sink even the most well-intentioned study. James Lavery, inaugural Hilton Chair in Global Health Ethics, aims to establish Emory as a world leader in the fast-emerging field.
