Research ethics
Find out how we ensure ethical and responsible research practices involving humans, animals and genetically modified organisms.
We're committed to the highest standards of ethical and responsible research because we believe in doing things the right way. Where our research involves people as participants, animals or genetically modified organisms, we ensure that risks of harm are considered and managed, keeping people, animals and the environment safe for all of us.
