Ethics and Data protection
Our expertise is in creating appropriate ethics documents – specific to various realms of biomaterial and data use – that respect the rights of the subject, while still allowing state-of-the-art biomedical research.
We provide:
- Support with broad consent solutions for local or federated/centralized biomaterial collections.
- Design of ethics documents (patient information, informed consent) for biobanks and for data and biomaterial collections within clinical studies, including critical issues like the management of incidental findings and withdrawal of consent.
