Nanodiagnostics and nanotherapeutics: Building research ethics and oversight |
|
(Nanowerk News) This conference – Nanodiagnostics and Nanotherapeutics: Building Research Ethics & Oversight – will present the first systematic and comprehensive recommendations and analysis on protecting human participants in research on nanomedicine products, including drugs, devices, and gene therapy using nano-vectors. Nanomedicine research in human subjects is at the forefront of new challenges to research ethics and oversight posed by emerging advanced technologies, including uncertainty about how to assess risks to participants, researchers, lab workers, the environment, and bystanders who may be exposed to nanomaterials in the course of research. | |
Nanomedicine research in human subjects is at the forefront of new challenges to research ethics and oversight posed by advanced technologies. Nanomedicine research raises significant questions about how to protect human subjects, especially in first-in-human (FIH) trials. But the challenges are even bigger--how to protect researchers, lab workers, the environment, and bystanders who may be exposed to nanomaterials in the course of research. This conference brings together the top experts in the country to address cutting-edge questions, including: | |
