Scientific Integrity & Research Standards | MenGenics Research Program

Our Principles

Evidence-based methodology — conclusions follow the data, not the reverse.
Research transparency — methods and limitations are disclosed, not hidden.
Conflicts of interest — disclosed on every publication and presentation associated with the Program.
Publication ethics — results are published whether or not they favor MenGenics' commercial interests.
Research independence — marketing does not edit results or conclusions; it communicates what is published, with its actual level of evidence.
Human-subject protection, data privacy & informed consent — see Research Ethics below.
Responsible scientific communication, peer review & reproducibility — standard scientific norms apply to everything the Program publishes.
Regulatory compliance — applicable regulatory requirements are followed for every study.

The scientific-commercial firewall. Funding sources and roles are documented in every protocol. Results are published even when they do not favor MenGenics.

Research Ethics & Human Subjects Protection

Human-subject research conducted or sponsored by the Program follows applicable regulatory and ethical requirements, including — where applicable — Institutional Review Board (IRB) oversight (21 CFR 56), informed consent (21 CFR 50), HIPAA, Good Clinical Practice (ICH E6), FDA requirements, and ClinicalTrials.gov registration prior to enrollment.

MenGenics Research Program does not claim any specific approval, accreditation, registration, or compliance certification unless it has been verified and is currently in effect.

Scope and Structure

MenGenics Research Program is the research, education, and scientific innovation division of MenGenics, a commercial men's health platform founded and led by the Program's founder. We state this plainly rather than presenting the Program as institutionally independent of the company that funds it.

What independence does mean here is methodological, and it is enforced by the standards on this page: research questions, study design, and conclusions are not set by commercial objectives; marketing does not edit results; the relationship between the Program and MenGenics is disclosed on this site and on every publication; and results are published whether or not they favor MenGenics.

The Program does not itself provide clinical care. Where clinical services are provided anywhere in the MenGenics ecosystem, they are delivered through separately licensed entities or professional partners — never by the Program, and never implied to be.
