Research

DAVID E. WINICKOFF has been a tenure-track faculty member at the University of California, Berkeley, since 2004. He served as a post-doctoral fellow in the Program on Science, Technology and Society at the Kennedy School from 2002-2004. Coming from law, bioethics, and STS, Winickoff conducts research on the interaction of science, norms, and politics of human health and the environment, with a particular focus on the governance of biotechnology. He studies the regulation of life and life science in comparative and international contexts: intellectual property, environmental protection, food safety, human research subject protection, and public health. His work explores issues of equity, procedural justice, science, and democracy in law and public policy, and he aims to make theoretical contributions in the areas of bioethics, globalization, trade law, constitutional law, and the science-democracy relationship. Winickoff holds degrees from Yale College, Cambridge University, and Harvard Law School. While at Harvard Law School, he founded the Ethics, Law and Biotechnology (E.LaB) Society and co-instructed the first course ever on biotechnology.
