Research Award for PhD student Gemma Moore
Gemma Moore, PhD student in the School of Sociology, UCD, has received an award from the Lord Edward Fitzgerald Memorial fund to allow her to spend a period of time in the Innogen Centrein the University of Edinburgh.
Gemma’s PhD work concerns the development (or non-development) of bioethical policy, particularly related to stem cell research, in different cultural environments. Innogen (Centre for Social and Economic Research on Innovation in Genomics) is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and researchers there study the impact of innovation on global health, the environment and the economy.
Gemma finished 2011 with a month long visit to the Joint Centre for Bioethics (JCB) and the Department of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation (HPME) in the University of Toronto. While there Gemma spent time researching in both the HPME and the JCB, investigating the Canadian regulation of, and guidelines for, stem cell research and examining whether it could be used as a model for Irish development of stem cell research regulation.
