The Yale Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics, or YICB, is an academic research center based primarily in the study of biomedical ethics.[citation needed]
It is partnered with the Hastings Center to sponsor visiting Yale/Hastings Bioethics scholars. It also hosts the Sherwin Nuland international Summer Bioethics Institute (SBI). It is a subsidiary of the Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS).[1]
Director Stephen Latham was contacted by a Yale neuroscience team led by Nenad Sestan that had restored metabolic and cellular function in pig brains ex vivo.[2] The YICB ultimately agreed that Sestan's team had violated no ethical standards.[3] Latham recommended that guidelines regarding such practices should be established as similar experiments are carried out.[4]
