Harvard Law School Dean John F. Manning honored Petrie-Flom Center Faculty Director I. Glenn Cohen on the occasion of his appointment as the James A. Attwood and Leslie Williams Professor of Law at a lecture and reception yesterday evening.
Prof. Cohen presented his work, “The Second Reproductive Revolution: From Gene Editing, to Uterus Transplants, to Embryos Derived from Our Skin – How Technology Is Changing Reproduction,” which will be the subject of a forthcoming book.
Cohen, a popular professor at Harvard and a first generation college graduate, was the youngest professor on the faculty at Harvard Law School (tenured or untenured) both when he joined the faculty in 2008 (at age 29) and when he was tenured as a full professor in 2013 (at age 34).
Glenn’s current projects relate to health information technologies, mobile health, reproduction/reproductive technology, research ethics, rationing in law and medicine, health policy, FDA law and to medical tourism – the travel of patients who are residents of one country, the “home country,” to another country, the “destination country,” for medical treatment. His past work has included projects on end of life decision-making, FDA regulation and commodification. He is the founding editor of this blog.
The Bill of Health community wishes him a heartfelt congratulations!
