In medical practice and research it is necessary to consider the rights of the researcher or physician and of the subject or patient, to conform to scientific standards and to examine the appropriateness with respect to laws and moral values. Research ethics committees have an important role to play in ensuring the ethical standards and scientific merit of research on human subjects. Research of no scientific value is also against ethical principles. To obtain valid and reliable results from biomedical research, it is a scientific and ethical obligation to make use of the science of statistics. Therefore, for research to be evaluated using biostatistics intensively from ethical and scientific points of view, a biostatistics expert is necessary on research ethics committees. Developments in Turkey are used as examples.
在医学实践和研究中，有必要兼顾研究者或医生以及受试者或患者的权利，遵守科学标准，并审视其在法律和道德价值观方面的适宜性。研究伦理委员会在确保人类受试者研究的伦理标准和科学价值方面发挥着重要作用。没有科学价值的研究也违背伦理原则。为了从生物医学研究中获得有效和可靠的结果，运用统计学是一项科学和伦理义务。因此，为了从伦理和科学角度对研究进行深入的生物统计学评估，研究伦理委员会需要有生物统计学专家。以土耳其的发展情况为例。
