Aims and Objectives
|
As members of the ICS members increasingly engage in translational research — ranging from tissue biobanking and biomaterials to device development, AI applications, and early-phase clinical trials, new and complex ethical challenges emerge. These challenges are often not fully addressed by traditional clinical research ethics frameworks. This workshop aims to examine the ethical principles that guide translational research, with a focus on practical real-world applications across multidisciplinary settings. Emphasis will be placed on urogynecology, female urology, physiotherapy, nursing, basic science, and engineering, highlighting how ethical considerations evolve along the research continuum from bench to bedside.
Learning Objectives - Recognize ethical challenges unique to translational research — including issues related to specimen collection, data sharing, intellectual property, and first-in-human studies.
- Understand the continuum from pre-clinical to clinical research and identify when and how ethical oversight shifts (animal to human).
- Apply established ethical frameworks (Declaration of Helsinki, GCP, Belmont Report, CIOMS, ARRIVE, etc.) to real-world translational scenarios.
