Erwin Erfe

Ateneo Law School, Ateneo DeManila University
Philippines
As a physician-lawyer, Erwin’s professional experience has principally related to institutional research ethics review boards and pharmaceutical research. He is greatly concerned by the sharp increase in the volume of clinical trials conducted by multinational pharmaceutical companies in the Philippines and the lack of adequate safeguards and legal framework. Erwin has advocated for closer scrutiny of research protocols, more stringent controls, institutionalization of Good Clinical Practice and the creation of government monitoring to control clinical trials and prevent the violation of human rights. Through his participation in the DTP training Erwin hopes to link up with other organizations to form a united front in the protection of the human rights of pharmaceutical research subjects.
