The Center’s distinguished faculty are nationally recognized and deeply committed to cutting-edge research and interdisciplinary education. Composed of health-related legal experts in fields such as bioethics, genetics, eugenics, HIV/AIDS, human subjects research, international health and human rights, health care regulation, public health, and legislation and social welfare, the Center’s faculty contribute breadth and depth to the health law curriculum and research at the law school.
