Spotlight on... Professor Lynn Ang and Professor Michael Heinrich

This week we have a joint Spotlight, featuring Professor Lynn Ang (Institute of Education) and Professor Michael Heinrich (School of Pharmacy). Both are Chairs of the UCL Research Ethics Committee, which they chat to us about here. What is your role and what does it involve?. Research Ethics Focus  We have been Chairs of UCL Research Ethics Committee (REC) since 2016. It is a privilege to undertake this complex and exciting role, as research ethics is so fundamental to UCL's mission as a world-class institution dedicated to the continued pursuit of knowledge and scientific advancement to benefit humanity and the world of the future. We are proud to lead a UCL-wide multi-faculty committee of 12 academic members (including a co-opted member from UCL's MRC Clinical Trials Unit) some of whom are supported by other academics within their faculty. Also, and importantly we have four 'lay' members, representing a third of the Committee.
