Specially Appointed Professor
Specialty field：Research Ethics, Biomedical Ethics, Epidemiology/Public Health, Occupational Health
Kenji Matsui
My research has focused on the ethics of research involving human subjects, research subject protection, research regulations and ethical, legal, and sociopolitical issues, and research ethics education in bio-medical sciences. At the Institute for the Future of Human Society, I would like to tackle mainly ethical issues of research in non-biomedical settings.
