Clearly, therefore, those involved in drug safety monitoring need to liase closely with both clinical research and medical information scientists. In addition, those responsible for clinical drug safety must undertake periodic safety update reports (PSURs) at predetermined intervals, in accordance with current International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines. Such routine analyses can identify new safety signals as soon as they become detectable. 

The most recent pressing ethical dilemma facing the clinical research scientist surroimds the increasing amoimt of research that is being conducted in biotechni-cal and genetic engineering. Ethical issues will continue to play important parts in the medical and legal worlds. Whereas pure science is value-neutral, its application is always open to debate. Undesirable extremes are likely to exist at both ends of the spectrum. 

Van M. Sim, M.D. (1922-1990) Trained as an internist, he was Chief of Clinical Research from 195S1961 and Chief Scientist of the Medical Research Laboratories thereafter. 

For more than 50 years, scientists, physicians, bioethi-cists, and the media have focused on a variety of issues in research with human subjects, or clinical research. In 1948, in response to the atrocities perpetrated by Nazi experimentation, the Nuremberg Code was developed to set forth guidelines for the acceptable conduct of scientific research. In 1964 the World Medical Association adopted the Declaration of Helsinki, which specifically guides physicians in biomedical research. These documents specify basic moral guidelines ultimately founded on concerns for autonomy, beneficence, and justice. The guidelines require the following ... 

A peer review panel was assembled for chlorobenzene. The panel consisted of the following members Dr. David Jollow, Professor in the Department of Pharmacology, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina Dr. Henry Peters, Professor in the Department of Neurology, University of Wisconsin Clinical Science Center, Madison, Wisconsin Dr. Jay B. Silkworth, Research Scientist, Wadsworth Center Labs, New York Department of Health, Albany, New York Dr. Frank Lu, Private Toxicology Consultant. Miami, Florida Dr. James Pollard, Private Consultant, Las Vegas, Nevada. These experts collectively have knowledge of chlorobenzene s physical and chemical properties, toxicokinetics, key health end points, mechanisms of action, human and animal exposure, and quantification of risk to humans. All reviewers were selected in conformity with the conditions for peer review specified in Section 104(i)(13) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended. 

A variety of career paths exist for people interested in genetics. Educational requirements vary from bachelor s to doctorate degrees. Research scientists, working at major universities, companies, and government agencies such as the NIH usually need a Ph.D. or M.D. A clinical geneticist who treats patients typically completes medical school and...
