The Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School

Academic Fellows

This is a two year fellowship paying $60,000 per year for persons who already have a graduate degree in law or some other discipline, and are interested in doing original academic work in the Center's fields of health law policy, biotechnology or bioethics. Academic fellows dedicate themselves full-time to their research, are given research budgets, and have no teaching obligations. This fellowship has most frequently been used to prepare aspiring scholars for the entry-level market for law professors, but is also available to others wishing to do original academic work relevant to the Center's fields. The Center's two inaugural fellows on the job market in 2007-08, Glenn Cohen and Benjamin Roin both accepted entry level professorships at Harvard Law School.

“More than any of the other doctrines in patent law, the novelty requirement epitomizes the patent system’s failure to adequately promote pharmaceutical innovation by ignoring the development and commercialization costs of inventions.”
