The purpose of this seminar is to introduce to students the main ethical questions that arise when designing a biomedical research study. Particular focus will be given at thinking and evaluating the harms and benefits that biomedical research can bring to the various stakeholders, e.g. the researchers, the research participants, the institution, as well as the responsibilities of researchers towards other researchers, research participants and institutions. The principles of equipoise and fairness will be discussed. During the seminar, students will be presented with case studies that would help highlight the particular issues at question. Students will also be encouraged to think how institutional processes can help safeguard ethical practice and promote research integrity. Participant Numbers : 20 max.
