Legal Publisher, September, 2006

The University of Toronto Press (Toronto, ON) has published "Law and Ethics in Biomedical Research," a new book that examines how flaws in the U.S. and Canadian regulatory system, conflicts of interest and legal liability embody major challenges to the current biomedical research environment.

It attempts to demonstrate why existing models of research review and human subject protection are in need of improvement, and how more stringent regulatory and legal means can be used to strengthen the protection of research subjects and the integrity of research. It also covers the commercialization of medical research, legal liability of scientific investigations, research institutions and government agencies. The book costs $65.
