Jane Kaye is Wellcome Trust Fellow in Medical Law at the Ethox Centre, University of Oxford. She obtained her degrees from the Australian National University (B.A); University of Melbourne (L.L.B); and University of Oxford (D.Phil). She was admitted to practice as a solicitor/barrister by the Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court in 1997. She is a member of the Faculty of Law, University of Oxford and has taught both Regulation and Medical Law and Ethics courses at the University of Oxford. Within the Ethox Centre, Dr. Jane Kaye is responsible for directing the Law, Health and Emerging Technologies research programme. She is also Director of the University of Oxford’s Oxford Bioethics Network http://oxbionet.medsci.ox.ac.uk.
The Law, Health and Emerging Technologies research programme specialises in understanding the relationship between law, ethics and practice in medicine, using socio-legal methodology. This combines analysis of the law and regulatory bodies with empirical research, in order to be able to generate insights for more effective policy making. One of the key themes of this programme is data-sharing.
The Governing Genetics Databases project (2006-2009) by using a socio-legal approach has analysed the framework for regulating medical research in the UK and how this can accommodate biobanks. The recently funded EnCoRe project (2008-2011) works with commercial partners, to develop IT mechanisms to enable individuals to consent and revoke consent to the use of their personal information in specific case studies such as in Facebook, commercial use, by government departments and for health purposes. The Administrative Data Liaison Service (2008- 2011) will facilitate and provide the support necessary to encourage the use of administrative records for research purposes. Dr. Kaye’s Wellcome Trust Fellowship research is directed at understanding the role of law in the global regulation of innovative technologies in medicine, with a particular focus on biobanks and standardisation. This research links to other projects in the Ethox Centre, such as VOTES (2006-2008); and MALARIAGEN (2006-2009), led by Prof. Michael Parker.
