Welcome to Western University’s Centre for Bioethics

Its members comprise faculty, staff, and trainees representing multiple departments, faculties, and offices across Western’s campus in addition to both of London’s academic hospitals and public health unit. The Centre for Bioethics represents a partnership between Western University and London Health Sciences Centre, St. Joseph’s Health Care London, and the Middlesex-London Health Unit. Our objective is to foster and strengthen both community and research in bioethics at Western University and in southwestern Ontario.
