37 pHoto: lars BecH We attach enormous importance to being meticulously careful with regard to ethical regulations. We work in developing countries, and the patients are vulnerable in a number of ways. they are psychiatric patients, and perhaps also very poor. For this reason, we are extremely careful when we select clinics and doctors. We collaborate only with well-reputed clinics and doctors who comply with the international conventions and regulations for clinical studies with humans. the rules for clinical trials spring from the nuremberg process which led to rules on how experiments with humans must be conducted. today, nearly all countries have their own good clinical practice (gcp) standard. there are no countries where it is possible to sneak in and conduct unethical trials. leading company in knowledge of the disorders with which we work. psychiatric research is diffuse, but we will have a look at individual and cultural self-perception. We do not know if there is any difference: depression may occur in the same way in all patients or ethnicity may play a role. in the short term, the answers to these questions influence the way in which lundbeck designs its trial protocols and perhaps the way in which doctors prescribe medicine, possibly in combination with therapy. in the long term, the studies may lead to the beginning of differentiated treatment and the offering of various treatment options. it is not an area we have invented. research is already being done to discover if there are genetic and biological differences among various ethnic groups, but this type of research is most common in highly developed countries. Here, we have the opportunity of contributing with something quite different. have achieved the position we are striving to attain as the leading company in cns. the progress of communication technology means that we will be even more closely integrated with headquarters in denmark. in fact, we already have employees who are part of the team in denmark, but who are physically here in singapore. as Medical director, i am proud when good staff members decide to remain with us, and when others join us. it is a real pleasure when headquarters notices my staff members efforts to ensure that we supply high-quality data on time. ethnic differences in addition to clinical studies, we have begun designing scientific studies to determine if there are ethnic differences in depression and other psychiatric disorders. this is more deep basic research in the disorders we work with. i see this as my contribution to fulfilling our vision of being the leading cns company.
