Community and bioethicists’ perspectives on iPSC research with biobanked samples collected using broad consent

Adebamowo and colleagues investigate community and bioethicists’ perspectives on using biobanked Yoruba HapMap samples for iPSC research. They found support for broad consent when coupled with sustained community engagement, transparent benefit-sharing mechanisms, and involvement of trusted local researchers in oversight. The study highlights the importance of trust, elapsed time, and practical benefit-sharing frameworks when using biobanked samples for novel research.
