Jean Cadigan and Co-Authors Address Stewardship, Ethics Lens in Networked Biobanking

In new research in AJOB Empirical Bioethics, Jean Cadigan and co-authors interviewed networked biobank representatives.

Using thematic analysis, they share how the representatives “describe three topics associated with stewarding biobank resources.” The three topics are funding, utlitzation and sustainability.

Cadigan et al. argue that the results “support inclusion of funding, utilization, and sustainability as topics of ethical concern.” They also offer suggestions from respondents for improving stewardship in these areas.

“Supporting Stewardship: Funding, Utilization, and Sustainability as Ethical Concerns in Networked Biobanking” is out now.
