The Health Law Policy, Bioethics, and Biotechnology Workshop provides a forum for discussion of new scholarship in these fields from the world’s leading experts. The workshop is led by Professor I. Glenn Cohen, and presenters come from a wide range of disciplines and departments. Harvard graduate students may register to take the workshop for course credit. We are unable to make the Workshop public beyond the Harvard University Community. If you are a Harvard-affiliate and interested in enrolling or auditing this workshop, please reach out to Professor Cohen and his assistant, David LeBreton at dlebreton@law.harvard.edu.

Even though the Workshop is not open to the public, we still want to share who is coming to speak. A full list can be found below. Be sure to keep an eye on our blog, Bill of Health, as we hope to share some of the Workshop content there.
