Dinnah Rippon
Co-ordinator of Global Health Bioethics Network
Dinnah coordinates the development of the Wellcome Trust-supported International Research Network on the Ethics of Collaborative Global Health Research.
The International Research Network, which is a joint initiative of the Ethox Centre in Oxford and the Wellcome-KEMRI Unit in Kilifi, Kenya, aims to build ethics expertise and capacity both in the United Kingdom and in developing countries – with a particular emphasis on building capacity at the Wellcome Trust’s Major Overseas Programme sites.
The Network aims to support knowledge-sharing and communication amongst those interested in the ethical issues surrounding global health research; collaborate in research activities that develop capacity in global health research; and encourage local research initiatives in developing country sites.
