Center for Law in Science and Global Health
The Center for Law, Science and Global Health began in 1994 with the appointment of Professor Patricia Kuszler who was hired to create and institute a program of study focusing on the intersection between law and health sciences. As of 2006, the Center includes a Concentration Track in health law for J.D. students, a major collaboration and role in the Institute for Public Health Genetics, a Global Health and Justice Project focusing on international health and human rights, a concurrent J.D./M.P.H., and several additional multidisciplinary ventures that bring opportunities and revenue into the Center. The guiding focus of the program is multidisciplinary research and teaching that explores the increasing relevance of law and policy to clinical medicine, global health, and biomedical research.
