The Limits of Private Ownership of Human Biological Material Under Debate

 
 
 

Joana Santos joined the Law and Health Discussion Series on 30 October, an initiative organised by the Faculty of Law of the University of São Paulo (USP) at Ribeirão Preto, NOVA School of Law and FGV Direito SP.

The discussion focused on the possibility of privately appropriating human biological material through exclusive rights, exploring topics such as gene patentability, the protection of genetic databases and bioart.

Her participation provided an opportunity to contribute to the exchange of knowledge and perspectives on the legal challenges at the intersection of Intellectual Property, science and artistic expression.
