The Gene of the Law: Legal Frontiers in Biotechnology [2025 NLC]

Breakthroughs in biotechnology are reshaping medicine at a breathtaking pace. From CRISPR and other forms of gene editing, to novel mRNA vaccines, to synthetic biology and regenerative medicine, advances once thought science fiction are rapidly moving into clinical practice. These developments raise profound legal and policy questions: How should intellectual property law incentivize innovation while ensuring access? What role should federal agencies play in regulating cutting-edge therapies, and where do constitutional limits lie? How do courts balance public health, individual autonomy, and religious liberty in disputes over vaccines or gene therapies? And as therapies move beyond treatment into enhancement, what ethical boundaries should the law enforce? Featuring: Prof. R.
