Technical Abstract
Lay abstract (no permission to release technical abstract): This research proposes to extend my previous work on gene therapy by examining the ethics of testing drugs in human beings for the first time-- a process called "translational clinical research." I propose to study the ethics of three aspects of this research: when to make the "leap" from animal studies to human trials, changes in how cancer drugs are tested in clinical trials, and the ways that researchers communicate exciting (or disturbing) discoveries to the public. This proposal is aimed at addressing a major gap in ethical scholarship at a time when governments are increasing their investment in translational research.
