The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University was awarded a three-year grant totaling nearly $900,000 by the National Institutes of Health’s National Human Genome Research Institute.

The federal grant is for research into liability in the delivery of personalized medicine, a project led by Gary Marchant, who runs the school’s Center for Law, Science & Innovation.

“Liability is likely to be an increasingly important driver of personalized medicine, but it can be a double-edged sword,” said Marchant. “Our goal in this project is to first understand the dynamics and likely trajectory of liability in the field of personalized medicine. We then will try to shape liability impacts to be a positive rather than detrimental influence on the deployment of personalized medicine technologies and knowledge.”

The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law’s Center for Law, Science & Innovation is the first and largest academic center focused on the intersection of law with science and technology. Its 26 faculty fellows work with students and research fellows to explore innovations in law and policy for a world of rapidly changing technologies, through leading-edge scholarship, education, and policy dialogue.

The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law launched the world’s first LL.M. degree program for lawyers that specifically focuses on legal aspects of genomics and biotechnology, and also is home to the nation’s first law school Program on Personalized Medicine Law and Policy.
