| This seminar will focus on the legal and policy issues related to the conduct of clinical research. How do law and public policy advance the goals of medical research while protecting those who volunteer to be human subjects? Who can legally consent to participate in research? Who is responsible for ensuring the quality and safety of clinical trials? How are conflicts of interest managed between the goals of treatment versus the goals of research or the financial sponsorship of a study and scientific integrity of the clinical trial? Should human subjects be able to profit from the results of research they participate in? The seminar will also look at legal trends of property law concepts applied to donated tissue for research as well as an overview of the regulatory and legal considerations in stem cell research. This seminar should be particularly engaging for students interested in the intersection of health law, medical-legal ethics and public policy. There are no prerequisites for this seminar. |
