    　View Summary

    The dual-use risk of infectious disease research using enhanced potential pandemic pathogens (ePPP), particularly gain-of-function (GOF) research, has been debated since 2011. As of now, research is supported on the condition that the research plan is reviewed and the actual experiment is supervised. However, the kinds of research conducted and what benefits they have brought to our society have not been adequately verified. Nevertheless, due to the COVID-19 pandemic that began at the end of 2019 and caused numerous deaths and wide economic disruption, the importance of infectious disease control from an international perspective has been recognized. Although complete control of the pandemic is still far off, positive signs include generating epidemiological trends based on genome analysis, therapeutic drug and vaccine development, clinical patient management, and public health policy interventions. In this context, the time has come to reconsider the true significance of GOF research on ePPP and the state of research governance in the post-COVID-19 era. In particular, the risks of such research are clearer than before, whereas its benefits seem less apparent. In this paper, we summarize the history of discussions on such GOF research, its significance in the light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, and the direction we shall take in the future.

  • Contiguous Governance of Synchronic and Diachronic Changes for the Use of Genome Editing Technologies

    Frontiers in Political Science   4   825496  2022.02  [Refereed]

    Authorship：Last author, Corresponding author

    　View Summary

    Genome editing technologies are increasingly coming under scrutiny, based on various social value judgments in biomedical research, clinical care, and public health. A central cause of this sociotechnical tension is that these technologies are capable of precisely and easily creating genome-modified organisms and human cells and tissues. To exemplify a general framework for a national governance system of genome editing technologies, we first look at the regulatory dynamics in Japan. Second, we expose the potential tension between national and international debates and directions for the global harmonization of genome editing technologies. Third, underpinning these two perspectives, we propose contiguous governance as a novel model of the governance of emerging biotechnologies from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. These perspectives, derived from genome editing technologies, can contribute to a better understanding and consideration of future regulations and governance systems.

    Abstract

    Background

    Public trust is central to the collection of genomic and health data and the sustainability of genomic research. To merit trust, those involved in collecting and sharing data need to demonstrate they are trustworthy. However, it is unclear what measures are most likely to demonstrate this.

    Methods

    We analyse the ‘Your DNA, Your Say’ online survey of public perspectives on genomic data sharing including responses from 36,268 individuals across 22 low-, middle- and high-income countries, gathered in 15 languages. We examine how participants perceived the relative value of measures to demonstrate the trustworthiness of those using donated DNA and/or medical information. We examine between-country variation and present a consolidated ranking of measures.

    Results

    Providing transparent information about who will benefit from data access was the most important measure to increase trust, endorsed by more than 50% of participants across 20 of 22 countries. It was followed by the option to withdraw data and transparency about who is using data and why. Variation was found for the importance of measures, notably information about sanctions for misuse of data—endorsed by 5% in India but almost 60% in Japan. A clustering analysis suggests alignment between some countries in the assessment of specific measures, such as the UK and Canada, Spain and Mexico and Portugal and Brazil. China and Russia are less closely aligned with other countries in terms of the value of the measures presented.

    Conclusions

    Our findings highlight the importance of transparency about data use and about the goals and potential benefits associated with data sharing, including to whom such benefits accrue. They show that members of the public value knowing what benefits accrue from the use of data. The study highlights the importance of locally sensitive measures to increase trust as genomic data sharing continues globally.

    There is a growing interest in the active patient involvement in the medical research to better reflect needs of patients. In this project, we have constructed a new Web-based system for medical research called RUDY JAPAN with researchers of University of Oxford. Patients of rare neuromuscular disease, Hereditary Angioedema (HAE), Epidermolysis bullosa registered to the system and recorded their health conditions.
    Through the work of the RUDY JAPAN project in collaboration with patients, we have shown that active involvement of patients in medical research is feasible in Japan, and that benefits for patients can be diverse such as the patient forum in which patients can meet those of the same disease as well as discuss with clinical researchers.

    Modern societies, both at the individual and social levels, often require scientific knowledge to make their decisions. However, scientific knowledge has properties at various levels that cannot make decisions on its own. It is not only the traditional scientific uncertainty, but also the problems over value judgment of what is important, and they are the cause of social conflict. We conduct international research on new court methods and practical research on educational curriculum to deepen understanding of scientific incertitude. We clarified the conditions for institutional design to be established and the ideal way of education.

    　View Summary

    Orphan drug (OD) is one of the best issues to integrate historically layered and segmented social/ethical assessment approaches including ELSI, HTA and pTA. Patient-/citizen-led engagement in OD R&D requires different collaborative and co-creative tools and methods by utilizing arts and design, digital technologies, and communication strategies for social innovation and learning. The process design also suggests that researchers should positively and continuously commit to the engagement on equal footing with other stakeholders. In future it would be important to study mapping wider socio-medical models and connect with research on patient reported outcome (PRO).

    　View Summary

    As symbolized by the STAP cell scandal in 2014, there have been many cases of research misconduct in Japanese scientific circles in recent years. An act of research misconduct undermines the public’s trust in science. In response to this situation, Science Council of Japan (SCJ) stipulated as the duty and responsibility of researchers that scientists actively participate in dialogue and exchange with citizens for a better mutual understanding between society and the scientific community (the rest is omitted). In response to this, a principal investigator, in turn, promoted the development of curriculums of research ethics education with an application of scientific communication. The principal investigator gathered data through clinical, educational practices for graduate school students of Kyushu University, to which he belongs, and made it clear that scientific communication linking graduate school students and citizens actually improves graduate school students’ sense of ethics.

    近年、先端生命科学における目覚しい技術革新と実用化に対する期待が高まる一方で、用途の両義性(デュアルユース)や、倫理的・法的・社会的影響(ELSI)の問題が問われている。先端的な生命科学技術に対する善・悪といった単純な二元化の問題や、制度間で整合性の取れていない法規制やガイドラインとその解釈の幅がもたらす過度な事前警戒的な対応は、イノベーションに向けた研究開発の推進を阻害してしまう可能性がある。 本プロジェクトでは、社会的配慮や客観性、透明性を担保しながら技術革新に対する自由を尊重する「プロアクショナリー(行為支援的)」という概念を手がかりに、パーソナルゲノム研究、ゲノム編集技術、合成生物学を対象として、日本社会の実情に見合った生命倫理原則の提唱と、オープンイノベーションに向けた倫理観と政策形成の共創モデルの提案を目指す。

    　View Summary

    In order to establish new medical research governance for 21st century, we have developed a new interactive system in which patients continuously communicate with medical researchers and input their heath data for medical research. We first carried out survey and analysis of similar activity in the UK and the US, and also conducted an opinion survey of Japanese patients about use of ICT. These research works showed that there is potential for patient-centered activities for medical research in Japan. We then constructed an actual web-system and consulted members of patient groups about the contents of the system and procedures for utilization that need amendments. The system is now almost ready for the implementation with rare disease patients with neuro- muscular diseases.

    　View Summary

    Uncertainty always exists in its degree in the knowledge of science and technology. Also, the issue which scientific knowledge is needed for decision-making cannot be determined by scientific knowledge itself, as decision-making must be related to value-judgment. We have discussed these properties of the knowledge of science and technology, namely, scientific incertitude, and found several conditions to be considered for better decision-making. We have edited a book about scientific incertitude with our members, and will be published in the fiscal year, 2017.

    We have engaged in research of medical malpractice litigation and the way of regulate medical research in Japan and in other countries. We went to the U.S., Unitied Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, and Korea to research the way to introduce expertise in civil ligitagion which have some scientific or medical issues. Esepcially, we focused on "concurrent evidence" in the NSW of Australia and consider the application of that king of expert evidence and made some proposals of introducing new procedure of expert evidence in which two or more experts serve as expert witness or court-appointed experts concurrently.We tried to publish the result and proposal on not only on journal but at various kind of conferences including international academic meetings.

    　View Summary

    Conventional governance perspective is formalized, static and restricted to organizational processes and networks, the decision-making in which is based on either libertarian individuals or authoritarian society. In Japanese context, however, as represented by terms like 'seken' and 'kuuki', people often never make a clear decision on but rather deal with an event in a tacit, ad hoc and peer-pressured manner. The event ranges from life-threating to daily. Here, this study proposes a novel concept and theoretical framework of 'loose governance' by challenging the conventional governance perspective. In the sense that the looseness allows uncertainty, ambiguity and loopholes in governance, the concept of loose governance resonates with the recent STS discourse on governance referred to as being anticipatory and mundane, but less with adaptive, reflexive and responsive. The study also sheds light on the methodology to understand dissociation and conflict between public and private selves.
