Description

Large-scale cancer genomics research projects raise a range of ethical and legal issues. We focus on two emerging themes challenged within genomic research: (1) issues surrounding the return of research results to research participants, whether in summary or individualized form, and (2) issues connected to the commercialization of research, including the patenting of biomedical discoveries and biological materials. We examine current thinking in these areas and highlight areas for further exploration.
