Law Faculty: The Speaker Series

The Speaker Series is a monthly seminar to showcase emerging and important research in diverse areas of Law in Ireland and internationally. Talks will cover wide-ranging topics like data regulation, AI innovation in pharmaceuticals, ground-breaking research on 'Blue Rights', and many others. The Law Faculty hopes these seminars will inspire and motivate our learners and the Griffith community!

Geopolitical Dimensions of Digital Regulation

Dr. Katie Nolan, assistant lecturer in Law at TU Dublin, was the first guest speaker in our Speakers Series.  Dr Katie's research focused on digital governance, data protection and fundamental rights in EU Law. 

AI and Pharmaceutical Innovation: A New Era for EU Competition Law and Policy

Our second guest speaker was Dr. Mina Hosseini, a researcher, lecturer, lawyer, consultant, and mentor with expertise in health law, competition law, pharmaceutical law, and AI in healthcare. Dr. Mina spoke about the advanced treatments AI is benefiting in the pharmaceutical industry, while some research has raised concerns about leaking sensitive information. While there is a new era forming towards a patient-centred and forward-thinking pharmaceutical sector, competition law enforcement is too slow and not effective enough, Dr. Mina noted from her research presentation.
