Culture and benefits at The Human Future

The Institute on Biotechnology and the Human Future is an academic research institute which seeks to examine the issues presented by the advances of biotechnology. As such, the culture of the IBHF is one of serious academic rigor; fellows are hand-selected for their commitment to academic excellence, their track-record of producing great, insightful, thought-provoking work, and their appreciation for the myriad issues raised by biotechnological progress. The institute examines the "Biotech Century" through a socio-economic, political, and ethical lens. It seeks to facilitate research into biotechnology which focuses on the societal and moral challenges presented by technology. For example, the advent of gene editing and its availability to wealthy people poses many tough questions relating to equality of opportunity. Working at the Institute on Biotechnology and the Human Future is a great honor. Only serious scholars with a real passion for this field will ever be accepted as research fellows.
