Legal Team??

Purpose:

Healthcare delivery and research require a multi-disciplinary approach, not only to ensure legal compliance, but also to support innovation guided by adherence to ethical and legal principles. The legal team aims to support and facilitate science whilst protecting and promoting the interests of study participants and data subjects. In this context, the legal team plays a critical role in the ELSI team, providing guidance to researchers by interpreting applicable law, and, where necessary, advocating for policy, regulatory, and legislative reform. ?
