Genetic Monitoring In The Workplace: A Tool Not A Solution, Lillian Trettin, Catherine Musham, Richard Jablonski
Genetic Monitoring In The Workplace: A Tool Not A Solution, Lillian Trettin, Catherine Musham, Richard Jablonski
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Psychosocial Risks Of Storing And Using Human Tissues In Research, Jon F. Merz
Psychosocial Risks Of Storing And Using Human Tissues In Research, Jon F. Merz
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Merz argues that genetics technology makes it more compelling that researchers plan more carefully for the collection and disposition of information derived from subjects' tissues and blood.
Genome Research And Traditional Intellectual Property Protection -- A Bad Fit?, Kate H. Murashige
Genome Research And Traditional Intellectual Property Protection -- A Bad Fit?, Kate H. Murashige
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Murashige addresses the need for a patent system more closely tailored to the needs of biotechnology. For example, the obviousness requirement may interfere with using patents to recoup high costs of work when it could arguably be done by researchers of ordinary skill.
Social Issues Of Genome Innovation And Intellectual Property, Elaine Alma Draper
Social Issues Of Genome Innovation And Intellectual Property, Elaine Alma Draper
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Draper's focus is the use of personal information derived from genome research. She identifies several potential problems, including access to and control of genetic information, employment discrimination and social stratification. She also recommends possible solutions.

Maximizing The Return From Genome Research: Introduction, Thomas G. Field Jr.
Maximizing The Return From Genome Research: Introduction, Thomas G. Field Jr.
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Professor Field introduces and explains the origins of the symposium.
Overview Of Federal Technology Transfer, Lawrence Rudolph
Overview Of Federal Technology Transfer, Lawrence Rudolph
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Mr. Rudolph reviews approximately thirteen years of legal and political developments that have contributed to laws governing the extent to which private firms may secure rights in technology at least partly developed with federal funds.
The Human Genome Project And The Downside Of Federal Technology Transfer, Christopher J. Harnett
The Human Genome Project And The Downside Of Federal Technology Transfer, Christopher J. Harnett
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Mr. Harnett argues that emphasizing technology transfer at institutions such as the National Institutes of Health will interfere with what should be regarded as their primary mission, basic research.
Technology Transfer: A View From The Trenches, Harvey Drucker
Technology Transfer: A View From The Trenches, Harvey Drucker
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Drucker, who has lab-wide responsibility for technology transfer at Argonne National Laboratory, argues that transferring rights in discoveries made through tax supported research to private entities can contribute to public welfare in many ways.
Biotechnology Process Patents: Is Special Legislation Needed?, Timothy P. Linkkila, Timothy E. Tracy
Biotechnology Process Patents: Is Special Legislation Needed?, Timothy P. Linkkila, Timothy E. Tracy
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors review administrative and court decisions prompting proposed changes to the patent law. After reviewing pros and cons, they argue that, on balance, pending bills can easily cause more problems than they solve.

Technology Transfer And The Genome Project: Problems With Patenting Research Tools, Rebecca S. Eisenberg
Technology Transfer And The Genome Project: Problems With Patenting Research Tools, Rebecca S. Eisenberg
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Professor Eisenberg argues against a system providing for federally-sponsored inventions to be patented if any associated person so desires. She believes that the system does not adequately weigh the possibility that the greatest social return from genome research will require some discoveries to be in the public domain.
