Centre for Health, Law and Emerging Technologies (HeLEX)
HeLEX specialises in investigating the relationships between law, ethics, and practice in the area of emerging technologies in health.We investigate areas where new technologies are having a significant impact, such as the use of next generation sequencing technologies in the clinic and big data approaches in research. To address these complex issues we carry out interdisciplinary research drawing on tools from law, philosophy and the social sciences with the aim of improving or guiding evolving practice.
