research law posts

I am a practicing attorney specializing in research-related legal issues, such as clinical research contracts, human subjects, research ethics and misconduct, and intellectual property originating from research activity. This blog is primarily to post links to cases, regulations, laws and policies, and other items that may be of interest to lawyers and research administrators in universities, hospitals, government research organizations, and commercial labs.
