Driven by the need to address the immediate public health threats of the COVID-19 pandemic, this has seen a rise of the technocratic mode of governance around the world. A technocratic approach is evidence-based and relies upon the guidance of experts to respond to the public health crisis. The rise of technocracy reflects a utilitarian calculus th...
At the international level, proof of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 offers an enticing promise to the return of normality, particularly for the much-desired reopening of national borders. At the same time, vaccination passports could be a false hope: the requirement of vaccine passports could adversely embed social and economic inequalities that re...
In 2008, researchers created human three-dimensional neural tissue-known as the pioneering work of "brain organoids." In recent years, some researchers have transplanted human brain organoids into animal brains for applicational purposes. With these experiments have come many ethical concerns. It is thus an urgent task to clarify what is ethically...
The emergence of the 2019 novel coronavirus-or COVID-19 1-outbreak has resuscitated global attention on the state of global health governance. Legal scholars and political scientists have long been fascinated by global governance of health, which had galvanized intellectual discourse that began almost two decades ago. Increasingly, global health op...
With its ability to transform the ecosystem, gene drives, a powerful genome-editing technology, poses nuanced regulatory challenges. In particular, as gene drives can override the normal rule of inheritance, where the impacts of gene-drive modified organisms on the environment could be irreversible, leading to a permanent population change. Moreove...
Demands from patients, health-care professionals, and industry to streamline the market approval process for promising new therapies has prompted the introduction of programs that can provide more rapid access to stem cell-based products before evidence of safety and efficacy has been demonstrated in clinical trials. These products may be approved...
In 2016, the Office of the State Coroner of New South Wales released its report into the death of an Australian woman, Sheila Drysdale, who had died from complications of an autologous stem cell procedure at a Sydney clinic. In this report, we argue that Mrs Drysdale's death was avoidable, and it was the result of a pernicious global problem of an...
Competencies of Member States Concerned and of Ethics Committees to Assess Trial Applications Under the New EU Clinical Trials Regulation - Volume 8 Issue 1 - Markus K. LABUDE, Tsung-Ling LEE
Many legal scholars believe that the lack of enforcement mechanisms provided by the International Health Regulations (IHR) in part explains the slow containment of the deadly Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa in 2014. In contrast, some global health practitioners deem funding for global health emergencies as a key remedy to the ineffectiv...

The project navigates what role do law, human rights, (bio)ethics and markets—separate and together—have to play as democratic societies seek to transform into sustainable bio-economies? What strategic role does the law play in global science governance?
This is a major study being conducted in collaboration between researchers at the University of Sydney, the University of Melbourne, the Australian National University, and the National University of Singapore, and partner investigators at Multiple Sclerosis Research Australia, Arthritis Australia and Motor Neurone Disease Association of Australia. The project generates theoretical, ethical and legal insights that will guide the responsible development, translation and regulation of innovative stem cell interventions in Australia and internationally.
