About

Since the completion of the Human Genome Project nearly a decade ago, continuing technological and scientific progress has brought significant advances to the fields of genomics and personalized medicine. As researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and businesses have sought to harness these advances, they have received increasing scrutiny from politicians, regulators, judges and policymakers. This, in turn, has brought a new layer of complexity to an already complicated legal and regulatory landscape.

The Genomics Law Report, a publication of the law firm Robinson, Bradshaw & Hinson, analyzes the legal implications of important developments in the fields of genomics and personalized medicine — including key litigation, legislative, regulatory and policymaking activities — to help make sense of these complex and rapidly changing areas of law and policy.
