The ethical aspects of IfADo’s research are supervised by an ethics commission, which was appointed by the board of the research association. The ethics commission observes the rules and ethical principles for medical research involving human subjects based on the revised World Medical Association’s Declaration of Helsinki. The commission and its members act autonomously and are not bound by any directive. The commission supports IfADo scientists by offering advice and by evaluating ethical and legal aspects of their experimental designs concerning humans.
