Our speaker is Dr. Kelly Edwards, Associate Professor, Bioethics & Humanities, Adjunct Associate Professor, Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences
and Core Faculty, Institute for Public Health Genetics.

Biobanks and other clinical data repositories have changed "business as usual" for researchers and for research oversight. Creative research groups are thinking beyond a one-time consent process toward more dynamic consent, and also considering alternative strategies for keeping participants engaged in what is often a long-term process. In this talk, we will consider common challenges along with new media solutions to advance biobanking research.
