Center Law, Science, Tech. The Program in Genetics and the Law at the Arizona State University Center for the Study of Law, Science, and Technology seeks to advance the understanding of legal and ethical issues created by advances in clinical and research genetics. The Program, which is supported by the SmithKline Beecham Corporation, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, includes annual fellowships and symposia on the work of the Program's fellows. The annual symposium on emerging issues in genetics, law, and public policy is held in the spring of the fellowship period.
Fellows present their research to other invited experts and policy makers at the symposium.
Fellows also meet at intervals with senior staff of SmithKline Beecham Corporation or with members of the corporation's Ethics and public Policy Board to discuss research projects.
