Privacy, Data Protection and Data-Sharing in Biomedical Research

The collection, accumulation and aggregation of very large datasets of medical information for ‘Big Data’ mining applications and analysis is assuming a central role in biomedical research.  Concurrently, researchers throughout the world are also seeking ways to share medical, genetic and genomic information both nationally as well as across borders:  researchers ultimately work with data, and pure information in digital form is often subject to fewer regulatory restrictions on movements...

Policy and Regulatory Responses to New Genomic and Reproductive Technologies

Recent advances in genomic and reproductive technologies raise difficult and profound issues as to the permitted sphere of activity in both clinical practice and biomedical research.  From the perspective of the law, ethics and society at large, what limits should be placed on the use (and perhaps even the exploration of these technologies through biomedical research), and on what basis?  The advent of technologies such as genetic screening, whole-genome sequencing and most recently, the...

Translating Informed Consent

While research involving human subjects once consisted primarily of research on people, advances in biobanking and big data have transformed the research landscape.  Personal data and biospecimens are increasingly at the centre of research, giving rise to difficult questions about whether and how to apply legal and ethical principles that were originally developed to govern research on people.   This talk will focus on the principle of informed consent and the challenges of translating the...

Cultural Variance in Medical ethics: some Confucian reflection

Abstract: While modern medical decisions are full of ethical dilemmas, the element of culture cannot be ignored.

In this talk, Prof. Daniel Fu-Chang Tsai will introduce his previous and current works on bioethics from the perspective of cultural variance. Speaker: Professor Daniel Fu-Chang Tsai was trained as a family physician at National Taiwan University (NTU) College...

Forensic Science is Global, Not Local

The interdisciplinary training and education of attorneys and scientists is essential to ensure reliable and just outcomes in all cases- criminal and civil. Increasingly, many cases are determined by forensic evidence, yet only a small percentage of attorneys receive training in scientific evidence. Many forensic scientists do not receive substantive training in the law and courtroom skills. There is a continuing need for greater communication and collaborative research between the legal and...
