"Research Integrity: Whose Rights? Whose Responsibilities?"

Drummond Rennie, M.D., M.A.C.P., F.R.C.P., Nephrologist, Deputy Editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, and Adjunct Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco

We rely on the research community to produce objective studies that can be used by doctors to promote better health. Increasingly though, powerful conflicts of interest are undermining the integrity of biomedical research. This morning on Focus 580 we’ll talk with one of the country’s leading advocates for scientific integrity, Dr. Drummond Rennie, Deputy Editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association. We’ll talk about a number of key issues, including authorship, peer review and the influence of commercial sponsors on medical research.
