Group 2: Clinical Research
Speaker: Prof. Benny Zee (Public Health & Primary Care)
Detail: The number of clinical research projects and clinical trials continue to increase in Asia in the last decade. Human subject protection has been the focus of much public debate. The role of Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) or Institution Review Board (IRB) for protecting and safeguarding the research participants is becoming an important subject in clinical research. The development of policy together with practical and efficient processes for the ethics review is critical. In this talk, we would introduce the basic historical perspective of the role of IEC/IRB, and summarize the key spirit of the IEC/IRB in the modern era using recent incidences as examples. We would discuss how clinical researchers, hospitals administrators and the public work together to accomplish our current Clinical Research Ethics Committee (CREC) infrastructure.
