SKYLAB MED
Ethics committee
An independent scientific and ethics committee has been established by Skylab to ensure respect for individuals and their remains in surgical education and research.
The committee conducts ethical reviews of the scientific, R&D and training programmes hosted by SKYLAB and provides advice to help ensure that their design and implementation meet and maintain the highest ethical standards.
The committee consists of five members with expertise in medical, scientific or ethical matters.
The current members are:
- Mr Philippe Amiel – Lawyer and ethicist specialising in the medico-surgical field (Chair of the Ethics Committee)
- Ms Victoria Chapeau – Lawyer specialising in victims’ rights
- Prof. Philippe Liverneaux – Orthopaedic surgeon specialising in deliberate practice
- Prof. Jean-Yves Beaulieu – Orthopaedic surgeon and Professor of Anatomy
