Institute for Philosophy in Biology and Medicine

Philosophy in science uses the conceptual tools of philosophy to contribute to solving scientific problems. The aim of the Institute for Philosophy In Biology and Medicine (PhilInBioMed) is to develop the first international network of philosophy in biology and medicine in order to give an institutional basis to the philosophy in science approach, and to strengthen and sustain it. PhilInBioMed fosters interdisciplinary initiatives that use the conceptual tools of philosophy to solve scientific problems through the co-production of knowledge by the direct interactions of philosophers, biologists, and medical doctors.
