CloudLIMS, a SOC 2 compliant and ISO 9001:2015 certified informatics company, hosted a complimentary webinar to delineate how to effectively write informed consent to meet regulatory requirements and protect participants’ rights and privacy.

Participants from across the globe attended the webinar, including clinical researchers, quality managers, and technicians.
