W. Nicholson Price II

Nicholson Price earned a J.D. from Columbia Law School, where he served for three years as Submissions Editor of the Columbia Science and Technology Law Review, and a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences, also from Columbia University. He holds an A.B. in Biological Sciences from Harvard College. After law school, he clerked for Judge Carlos T. Bea of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and was a Visiting Consortium Scholar at the UCSF/UC Hastings Consortium on Law, Science and Health Policy. Nicholson’s past scholarship has involved genetic testing patents and the implications of human cloning for family law. His current scholarship has two broad foci. First, he is studying the role of innovation policy in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Second, he is working on a variety of issues related to genetic testing and genetic sequencing, including the role of gene patents and the return of individual results in genetic research.
