PhD PROJECT: Ethical foundations and implications of tailored genetic treatments
The PhD project aims at establishing a comprehensive ethical framework for the tailored genetic treatment development process. To achieve this goal, the project will (1) define ethical standards for innovative trial types for single-patient genomic medicine (n-of-1 trials; platform, umbrella and basket trials), (2) develop appropriate informed consent procedures based on conceptual analysis and socio-empirical analyses of patients’ informed consent needs, and (3) develop innovative approaches for pricing, coverage, and prioritisation of high-cost/high-effect single-patient ASO treatments.
Eligibility criteria:
- Researchers must be doctoral candidates (i.e. not already in possession of a doctoral degree at the date of the recruitment).
Researchers who have successfully defended their doctoral thesis but who have not yet formally been awarded the doctoral degree will not be considered eligible. - Researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the recruiting beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before their date of recruitment.
Compulsory national service, short stays such as holidays, and time spent as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva Convention are not taken into account.
