Focus
The need for advice on protocols for non-interventional research involving human subjects is becoming increasingly urgent. In order to meet this need, the UdL Research Ethics Committee was launched in 2020. Composed of 16 members, it intends to provide an advisory opinion on research protocols (both for basic and applied research) to researchers and research professors at the Université de Lyon.
