Abstract
A one-day conference on emerging issues in ethics and regulation of medical research was organised by the Department of Research, Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital and Research centre (DMHRc), Pune, on January12, 2013. The meeting was attended by 270 participants. The conference was inaugurated by Dr Dhananjay Kelkar, Medical Director of the hospital. He summarised the current situation in medical research and stressed the necessity for clinical research to focus on the health needs of the country rather than being donor driven. in the present scenario, he said, there is every chance of conflict of interest due to the incentives attached to clinical research. He also pointed out that if we do not follow ethics, we will be bound by regulation. He encouraged the delegates saying that this conference would serve as an important step on the path to forming a better society, better science and a better future.
