Research Interests

In addition to the research summarised above, I have led seminars on the Oxford Law Faculty's Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL) on law, technology and health data. I have lectured at a graduate level on the regulation of genomic data, both at Oxford and at Imperial College, London. 

At undergraduate level, I taught on the first-year property module at the University of Sheffield, which encompasses an introduction to English land and equity law. I am also repeating some summer school teaching on the regulation of bio-modifying technologies (gene editing, 3D bioprinting and induced pluripotent stem cells).
