The 2015 Stem Cell Symposium tackles issues concerning the roles of law, science, technology, ethics, and society in the production and promotion of scientific knowledge through human research. Hosted by the Sue & Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center and the School of Law at the University of California, Irvine, this meeting queries whether the FDA and other government agencies should intensify the regulation of human subject research and establish enforcement standards.
This symposium is a culmination of an ongoing project investigating human subject research protections in stem cell clinical trials. The investigation arises from concerns about the informed consent process used in these types of studies and the adequacy of information sharing between pharmaceutical companies, research trial sites, principal investigators, human research subjects, and the public in general.
