Marking Shifts in Human Research Ethics in the Development of Biobanking
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-18, 03:07 authored by Donald ChalmersDonald Chalmers, Burgess, M, Edwards, K, Kaye, J, Meslin, E, Dianne NicolDianne NicolBiobanks are increasingly being created specifically for research purposes. Concomitantly, we are seeing significant and evolving shifts in research ethics in relation to biobanking. Three discrete shifts are identified in this article. The first extends the ethical focus beyond the protection of human subjects to the promotion of broader community benefits of research utilizing biobanked resources, and an expectation that these benefits will be shared. The second involves the evolution of the traditional consent paradigm for future research uses of biobanks resources that are not in contemplation at the time of donation. The third involves a move away from single project management to more dynamic governance accountability to research participants and the public. These shifts may take different local and institutional forms but share common recognizable elements.
