The Human Research Ethics Committee reviews research that involves people, their data or their tissue, to protect the rights, safety and well-being of participants.
The committee works under the principles of respect for persons, beneficence and justice, and follows international guidelines for research with human participants and good clinical practice.
Members come from medicine, nursing, public health, social sciences, law and the community, so that every study is seen from more than one point of view.
