At the sections Biotechnology & Society and Ethics & Philosophy of Technology, I research what a just distribution of genetic biodiversity entails in the context of the access and benefit-sharing regulation of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity and Nagoya Protocol. Applying concepts from research ethics, international relations, environmental and data justice I explore how users of Digital Sequence Information (DSI) can maintain open access to DSI while addressing the needs of developing countries and indigenous peoples, and helping biodiversity conservation.
