Ethics Review Committee

In accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and the Ethical Guidelines for Life Science and Medical Research Involving Human Subjects (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan), researchers must ensure that their research is ethically sound and scientifically appropriate, and that there is transparency regarding conflicts of interest among research institutions and researchers.

Three types of Ethics Review Committees (the Research Ethics Review Committee, the Clinical Ethics Review Committee, and the Hospital Ethics Committee) have been established to ensure that the research conducted at Mirai Medical Group complies with the ethical guidelines above.
