Za wati. A light lunch will be served at 12h15. Kindly RSVP to rghl [dot] law [at] mcgill [dot] ca\nAbstract\nIn research\, Canadian courts have mainta ined that participants are entitled to a 'full and frank disclosure' and t hat researchers' duties in that regard are as great\, if not greater\, tha n the duties owed by physicians in the clinical setting. That being said\, the increasingly longitudinal and international nature of research challe nges the feasibility of maintaining such an expansive duty to inform. Take population biobanks as an example. These longitudinal studies are limited in terms of what information they can provide to research participants du ring the initial consent process. On the one hand\, they are increasingly encouraged to provide access to their collections\, but on the other hand\ , they are unable to provide participants with “full disclosure” on the fu ture use of their data at the time of recruitment. By re-examining concept ions at the heart of the legal duty to inform\, this presentation will dis cuss ways in which population biobanks can continue to streamline access t o data while protecting research participants.\nThe speaker\nMa’n H. Zawat i (LL.B.\, LL.M.) is a lawyer and the Academic Coordinator of the Centre o f Genomics and Policy at 91. He is currently completing his Doctoral degree in law (D.C.L.) at 91 and is the Graduate Member of the 91 Research Group on Health and Law. Me Zawati is also a n Associate Member of the University’s Biomedical Ethics Unit since 2013. His research focuses on the legal and ethical aspects of biobanking as wel l as the legal duties and liability of health care professionals in both t he clinical and research settings. He has published numerous articles on i ssues such as access to genomic databases\, the return of research results /incidental findings\, the legal liability of physicians and the closure o f biobanks. Me Zawati has also presented on these topics in Canada and int ernationally. Recently\, the Young Bar Association of Montreal has named h im as one of its “Lawyer of the Year” awardees for 2014.\nA request for co ntinuing legal education accreditation (1.5 h) has been made to the Barrea u du Québec.\n DTSTART:20150202T173000Z DTEND:20150202T190000Z LOCATION:NCDH 316\, Chancellor Day Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1W9\, 36 44 rue Peel SUMMARY:Population Biobanking\, Autonomy and the Duty to Inform: Streamlini ng Access to Data while Protecting Participants URL:/channels/event/population-biobanking-autonomy-and -duty-inform-streamlining-access-data-while-protecting-participant-241050 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
