Manuela Fernández Pinto is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy and the Center for Applied Ethics at Universidad de los Andes, Colombia. She received her PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Notre Dame in 2014, and then conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Helsinki, before moving back to her home country. She was recruited at Los Andes as an expert in research ethics with the aim of developing a course in research ethics and scientific integrity for doctoral students at the university, which has been offered to all PhD students since the Fall of 2016. She has also been a member of the IRB at Los Andes since 2017. Bioethics in research has been at the core of her research interests as a philosopher of science. As we have seen in recent decades, scientific research done in the private setting with commercial interests presents particular challenges for the epistemic and ethical aims of science, especially when these aims are not aligned with the economic interests of private sponsors. In her dissertation, she explored some of these problems in areas such as tobacco smoking, pharmaceuticals, the financial crisis, and climate change. As an assistant professor at Los Andes, she conducted a more in-depth investigation on the topic, focusing on clinical research financed by the pharmaceutical industry. Currently, she is working on a new project on biases in science, with the aim of understanding the different types of biases that scientists can introduce in their research practices, including those methodological biases that seem to emerge more significantly in commercially-driven science. She also aims to develop pedagogical tools for counteracting the introduction of biases in science, through proper ethical training in bioethics in research.
