Illustrated case studies of research ethics and research fraud (June 11, 2007).
I've written a fair number of case studies involving research ethics and research fraud
for the Chance Wiki. I want to take some of this material and produce some web pages with
nice illustrations that will bring these cases to life and make them more memorable. This may
eventually lead to a book, but that is quite a way down the road. Here are some of the Chance
Wiki entries that I might want to work on.
There are lots of other interesting case studies that I could work on.
The TGN 1412 trial involves a surprising turn in a "first in human" trials where six
research subjects become violently ill. The descriptions of this trial are quite graphic, so
it would lend itself well to an illustrated case study. For more details, see
The death of Ellen Roche during an experiment using healthy volunteers is also an
interesting case study. For more details, see
07/08/2008.
