To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original publication of “Bad Blood: The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment”, the Wake Forest University Center for Bioethics, Health, & Society presents a major conference to promote reflection and discussion about critical issues of ongoing importance in research ethics. With the help of a distinguished group of bioethics thinkers, conferees will consider: the relationship between researchers and study participants; the significance of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status in perceptions about research, the meaning of research results, and the research policy agenda; the changing relationships between research,treatment, and biotechnology around the globe; and the role of institutional review boards (IRBs) in protecting the rights, interests, and safety of research participants and promoting sound and ethical science.

The conference is free and open to the public, but registration is necessary.
