Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of the lecture is to provide an overview of biological research related to ethical and legal issues that are currently included in ethics reviews at a national and international level. The aim is to provide students and researchers with a toolset that will enable them to identify such issues early on in the research design level. Furthermore, concrete measures will be presented on how those issues are currently handled in ethics reviews. These concrete risk mitigation concepts will empower students and researchers to go beyond the identification of ethical and moral dilemma and to implement ethics safeguards relevant to the research and in-line with international and national ethical standards.
The lecture will address key ethical issues in biological research like the involvement of human subjects in research, data protection/privacy, animal testing, environmental and human safety issues.
The focus in all presentations will be on hands-on guidance in resolving practical research questions.
