I have worked in human subjects protections since 2001, writing guidelines, http://hrpohome.wustl.edu/, developing training and other educational materials http://digitalcommons.wustl.edu/hrpo/ . I have been an instructor in the Clinical Research Management (CRM) since its inception in 2005, teaching research ethics, CRM fundamentals, and mentoring honor’s students. Amongst the topics I present nationally are: federal regulations and guidance (NIH, FDA, HIPAA, IND, IDE, ICH GCP), consent, risk assessment, and tools to remain compliant.
