Background:
Founded in 2013, the Bioethics and Law Laboratory is
dedicated to collaborative and interdisciplinary work,
committed to the solid academic training of its members,
based on the inseparability between teaching, research
and extension, combined with an entrepreneurial and
reflexive attitude that fosters the capacity for autonomous
and dynamic learning. Composed of professors,
researchers and students, it develops its activities from
the identification and examination of bioethical and legal
problems related to human health. We are interested in
dialoguing with national and foreign research groups
from different areas of knowledge, seeking mobility
actions, collective publications, organization of events,
development of innovative teaching-learning strategies
and resources for e-learning and b-learning, as well as
exchanges of experiences and knowledge.

and legal problems related to human health, including the
