Café Bioethics: Biobanking and Informed Consent
Diseases need cures, and cures need research, but research needs biological material... and a lot of it. Do you consent to yours being used?
Time & Location

Hart House (Committee's Room - 2nd Fl), 7 Hart House Cir, Toronto, ON M5S 3H3, Canada
About the event
With the current rate of expansion in the field of medicine, biobanking has become an essential tool for academic and clinical research. However, the interplay between data sharing and bodily integrity has generated a complex ethical dilemma. Consequently, it has become increasingly important to consider the ethics and implications of biobanking and broad consent, and how individual and collective welfare can be achieved.
Leading the discussion this Café Bioethics will be Leanna Lui. Leanna is a third-year undergraduate student pursuing a Global Health Specialist at the University of Toronto. Leanna recently completed HMB306 Ethical Considerations in Emerging Biotechnology. She is interested in ethics as it relates to the field of medicine, health care, and climate change, and she is interested in pursuing a career that fulfills these research interests.
