| Kurzbeschreibung | In diesem Modul werden einerseits Grundkenntnisse für ein kritisches Studium der Literatur mit engem Bezug für die klinische Entscheidungsfindung sowie Grundlagen der klinischen Forschungsmethodik vermittelt. Andererseits werden Methoden der personalisierten Medizin und damit verbundene ethische Probleme in der medizinischen und biomedizinischen Forschung thematisiert. | ||||
| Lernziel | Dieses Modul soll die Studierenden befähigen, einerseits wissenschaftliche Literatur kritisch zu würdigen und klinische Studien selbst zu planen, andererseits in ethischer Hinsicht kontroverse Situationen im medizinischen Alltag zu erkennen und zu analysieren. | ||||
| Inhalt | Das Teilmodul ‘Clinical Research’ enthält folgende Aspekte: - Grundprinzipien der Evidenzbeurteilung (Validität, klinische Relevanz und externe Validität von Evidenz) anhand klinischer Fallvignetten (Diagnostik, Therapie, Screening). - Entwicklung und Präsentation eines klinischen Studienprotokolls. Das Teilmodul ‘Ethics in Medicine and Health Care’ enthält folgende ethischen Problemfelder: - Arzt-Patient-Beziehung - Entscheide über das Lebensende - reproduktive Selbstbestimmung - Techniken wie Gentests, Genomsequenzierung, Big Data, Künstliche Intelligenz Das Teilmodul ‘Personalized Medicine’ enthält folgende Aspekte: - Einführung in die Präzisionsmedizin - Mendelische Vererbung und monogene Erkrankungen - GWAS und Präzisionsmedizin - Biomarker in der Präzisionsmedizin | ||||

| Kurzbeschreibung | This course introduces students to societal perspectives on the big data revolution. Discussing important contributions from machine learning and data science, the course explores their legal, economic, ethical, and political implications in the past, present, and future. | ||||
| Lernziel | This course is intended both for students of machine learning and data science who want to reflect on the societal implications of their field, and for students from other disciplines who want to explore the societal impact of data sciences. The course will first discuss some of the methodological foundations of machine learning, followed by a discussion of research papers and real-world applications where big data and societal values may clash. Potential topics include the implications of big data for privacy, liability, insurance, health systems, voting, and democratic institutions, as well as the use of predictive algorithms for price discrimination and the criminal justice system. Guest speakers, weekly readings and reaction papers ensure a lively debate among participants from various backgrounds. | ||||

| Kurzbeschreibung | This course examines and critiques the design of the Internet, with a focus on the connection between the engineering features and principles of the network and the legal, economic, and political concerns which have followed its evolution. | ||||
| Lernziel | This course examines and critiques the design of the Internet (broadly defined), with a focus on the connection between the engineering features and principles of the network (packet switching, global addressing, the end-to-end argument, etc.) and the legal, economic, and political concerns which have followed its evolution (security properties, censorship and censorship resistance, "net neutrality", etc.). No prior knowledge of networking technologies is required; conversely the course will focus only on those features of the Internet design which have strong political and legal implications (and vice versa). The course consists of two parts: lectures and seminars in one part provide an introduction and discussion of the technical, legal, and political aspects of the Internet design. The other part consists of a specific case study of some aspect of the Internet by individual students. | ||||
