Research Governance and Ethics
Research ethics and sponsorships
Research sponsorship
We are committed to sponsoring and delivering high-quality international clinical trials.
Our Sponsor Review Panel provides researchers with a quick, but robust, mechanism to acquire LSTM sponsorship.
Ethical approval for human research
Any research involving humans – data, samples, or direct interaction – requires ethical approval.
Our Research Ethics Committee, accredited and compliant with International Good Clinical Practice standards, meets monthly to review research applications. We support staff, students, and external collaborators to ensure research meets the highest ethical standards while progressing through review with minimal delay.
Why work with us?
- Robust approval – clear and efficient reviews from subject matter experts
- Ethical oversight – protecting participants and preserving their rights
- Internationally recognised standards
