The Center for Law and Biomedical Sciences (LABS) is a dynamic, interdisciplinary group of faculty and students engaged in research and teaching about law and the biomedical sciences. We feature expertise in law and health, health and human rights, disability, bioethics, genetics, neuroscience, evidence, torts, privacy, food and drug law, public health law, biotechnology, cognitive psychology, and intellectual property. We are committed to explaining and improving the law in these rapidly evolving fields to help overcome the critical health challenges of our times.

Health law course offerings include health law, FDA law, law and neuroscience, law and genetics, and law and the opioid epidemic. We also offer a colloquium in law and the biosciences, as well as a range of courses in IP law. We have a variety of externship opportunities for students in health law, IP law, and law and the biosciences.

The college also offers a certificate of specialized study in IP law. LABS faculty and student scholars have strong interests in IP, and work in LABS is integrally related to our Program on Intellectual Property and Technology Law.
