Webinar: Ethics of research involving humans in epidemiology and public health research
Do you conduct research involving human participants? Are you subject to the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS)? In this webinar, Hanan Abdel-Akher, Senior Policy Analyst with the Secretariat on Responsible Conduct of Research, answers these questions and more.
Webinar: Generating and Applying Synthetic Health Data
Synthetic data generation is an emerging approach for responsibly sharing data. Dr. Khaled El Emam reviews the use of generative models to produce synthetic real-world data and clinical trial data, along with studies evaluating the replicability of analyses using synthetic data and the privacy risks of synthetic data will. He also discusses further applications for enabling federated analysis and (selection) bias mitigation.
