Consortium on Law and Values in Health, Environment & the Life Sciences

The huge opportunities and ethical challenges related to ATP-Bio's ongoing research to stop biological time is the focus of a newly released, groundbreaking symposium in The Journal on Law, Medicine & Ethics. Among the article topics: the future suspended animation of astronauts; preservation of human organs for future transplant; storing pathogens for research; preservation of biological samples for future conservation efforts; and more. Take a look at the important research, led in part by University of Minnesota Professors Susan M. Wolf, JD, and Dr. Tim Pruett, MD. https://lnkd.in/ei45_y8p NSF ERC Advanced Technologies for the Preservation of Biological Systems (ATP-Bio) Tim Pruett Andrew Maynard Rosario Isasi Susan Wolf Gary Marchant Insoo Hyun Alexander Capron Marissa Scragg Shawneequa Callier Evelyn Brister Michele Goodwin Terry Tiersch Korkut Uygun Justyna Jaskiewicz Mehmet Toner Rebecca D.

A nice shout-out about our Consortium chair, Susan Wolf, JD. The Symposium dives into some interesting topics related to emerging biopreservation technologies.

A groundbreaking collection of 10 articles in the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics maps the huge potential and oversight challenges of emerging biopreservation technologies to stop biological time. These technologies to revolutionize organ transplantation, pathogen research, food systems, aquaculture, environmental conservation, and deep-space travel offer enormous benefits while posing significant oversight challenges. Engineers and scientists in the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center for Advanced Technologies for the Preservation of Biological Systems (ATP-Bio) are pioneering these emerging technologies while ATP-Bio’s Ethics & Public Policy component offers recommendations for oversight and governance. The Ethics & Public Policy component is based in the Consortium. https://lnkd.in/ei45_y8p NSF ERC Advanced Technologies for the Preservation of Biological Systems (ATP-Bio) Tim Pruett Andrew Maynard Rosario Isasi Susan Wolf Gary Marchant Insoo Hyun Alexander Capron Marissa Scragg kenneth oye Shawneequa Callier Evelyn Brister Michele Goodwin Terry Tiersch Korkut Uygun Justyna Jaskiewicz Mehmet Toner Rebecca D.

The Minnesota Critical Care Working Group, an ethics subgroup and the Minnesota COVID Ethics Collaborative, including Consortium Chair Susan M. Wolf, JD, that helped coordinate the state's response to a COVID-19 surge in the fall of 2021 have authored an article detailing the group's efforts. The publication includes recommendations for health care systems and policymakers as they plan for any future pandemics. https://lnkd.in/esduzwRF

The Minnesota Critical Care Working Group, made up of representatives from nine of the state's largest health care systems, along with an ethics subgroup and the Minnesota COVID Ethics Collaborative, including Consortium Chair Susan M. Wolf, JD, have authored a significant article in the peer-reviewed journal CHEST exploring strategies for dealing with surges as the result of pandemics. The research was based on lessons learned throughout the state from the COVID-19 pandemic. https://lnkd.in/gvxKX_bp Mayo Clinic Allina Health UnitedHealthcare Abbott Essentia Health Methodist Health System
