Overview of the KTH Life Science platform ethics support
Division of cellular and clinical proteomics, KTH, Stockholm.
2024 (English)In: Research ethics: ethical review and beyond / [ed] Elin Palm and Lars Lindblom, Linköping: Linköping University Electronic Press, 2024, , p. 57p. 19-22Chapter in book (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

In addition to its dynamic research in technology and social sciences, KTH is also active within the life science area. Life science research at KTH covers a large panel of projects from finding new biomarkers for disease prevention, diagnostics, and treatment, to developing drugs or designing medical devices. Among those projects, some may require an application to the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (Etikprövningsmyndigheten) because they involve traceable human biological material (blood, tissue samples), sensitive personal data (health data, sequencing data, location data) or they require testing medicinal products or medical devices on human subjects. Because of the nature of the research performed at KTH, directed more toward engineering and technology, development uncertainty can occur regarding the Swedish legal requirements for conducting research involving humans or animals. Finding information about the current national and international regulations and ethics review procedures can appear complicated and time-consuming. For unexperienced researchers, it may be arduous to assess whether a study requires an ethical permit. When a research project is part of an international collaboration and already covered by a foreign ethical permit, it is not always known that the part of the project performed in Sweden can still require a Swedish ethical review. The KTH Research support office offers a large panel of support related to research ethics and good research practice. However, because of its broad domain of action, it cannot always provide specific individual guidance and support for ethics review applications.
