Abstract

International Biomedical Research and Research Ethics Training in Developing Countries

Fawaz Mzayek and David Resnik

Developing an ethical framework for international biomedical research that is receptive to different cultural norms and moral values requires continuous and earnest dialogue between scientists from developed and developing countries. Adequate and sustainable training programs in biomedical research ethics for scientists from developing countries are essential to prepare competent partners from developing countries in this dialogue.
