This session will provide an overview of the development and practical application of research ethics in human studies. It will cover key historical milestones that shaped modern ethical standards, introduce the concept of bioethics, and outline the core principles guiding responsible research, including scientific validity, fair subject selection, risk–benefit balance, independent review, informed consent, and respect for participants.
