Dear Distinguished Speakers & Delegates,


On behalf of the APREC 2012 Organising Committee, we would like to thank you for making the 2nd Asia Pacific Research Ethics Conference (APREC) 2012, “Bridging Cultures, Enhancing Research” a huge success.


Proudly organized by the National Healthcare Group in collaboration with our partner, Public Responsibility in Medicine & Research (PRIM&R), APREC 2012 welcomed a total of 263 delegates, 85 speakers and 33 invited guests from 27 countries around the world. The convergence of various professionals at this international conference allowed discussions in greater depths on pertinent issues and challenges surrounding human research protection such as Institutional Review Boards (IRB), Responsible Conduct of Research, Research Ethics, Clinical Research, Regulatory and Legal Issues. I trust that APREC 2012 also provided you with an effective networking platform to establish new friendships and collaborations as well as to share knowledge and best practices.


As such, it leaves me to congratulate and thank you for your participation in APREC 2012 and I sincerely hope to see you at the next APREC. For the latest updates, please refer to http://www.aprec-nhg.com.sg/.


Sincerely,

Associate Professor Chin Jing Jih,
