Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical Research

Ethical guidelines for biomedical research are principles designed to ensure the safety, rights, and well-being of participants. They require researchers to obtain informed consent, meaning participants fully understand the study’s purpose and risks. The guidelines also emphasize confidentiality, preventing harm, and fairness in selecting participants. Researchers must conduct studies honestly, avoid conflicts of interest, and review their work ethically through oversight committees. Overall, these principles protect individuals and maintain public trust in scientific progress, ensuring research advances are achieved responsibly and ethically.
