Navigating social and ethical challenges of biobanking for human microbiome research

11 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Biobanks are considered to be key infrastructures for research development and have generated a lot of debate about their ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI). While the focus has been on human genomic research, rapid advances in human microbiome research further complicate the debate. DISCUSSION: We draw on two cystic fibrosis biobanks in Toronto, Canada, to illustrate our points. The...
