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 the Bachelor of Civil Law Masters course on Regulation at the University of Oxford.
Her research in the area of law and genetics focuses on the development of innovative technologies and the legal issues of privacy, confidentiality, data protection and negligence, as well as the broader issues of the public interest, governance and regulation. Her socio-legal research is based on issues that have implications for practice, and she carries out research as part of an inter-disciplinary team consisting of clinicians, epidemiologists and ethicists and sociologists. She has carried out research on the Icelandic Health Sector Database; lead the Law Team of an EC Framework 5 project called ELSAGEN (The Ethical, Legal and Social Aspects of Human Genetic Databases: A European Comparison); and in November 2005 was awarded a Wellcome Trust grant (with Dr. Andrew Smart and Prof. Mike Parker of the Ethox Centre) for a project called ‘Governing Genetic Databases’. In December 2006 she was awarded a Wellcome Trust Fellowship to carry out research on the international regulation of biobanks. She is involved in a number of expert committees focusing on the issues surrounding biobanks within Europe and at a global level.
