GE3LS Activity: Effects of Different Intellectual Property Regimes on Research and Development
The Gene Expression Networks project will
generate and publish novel scientific information
and there may be opportunities to retain intellectual
property (IP) rights over some information.
National and international IP regimes
are intended to serve the public good by being
the foundation for economic value created
by genomics. There are various forms
of IP frameworks and Ed Levy, Cheryl Power
(W. Maurice Young Centre of Applied Ethics,
UBC) and Emily Marden will examine how different
IP options would impact both the conduct of
the Gene Expression Project’s scientific
research and possible commercialization of
its results.
Educational Outreach: Genomics in the Schools
The Gene Expression Networks project will
also create an educational outreach program
led by Sid Katz and Brian Hansen. The
scientists will partners with high schools
to enrich Science 10 and Biology 12 in several
ways: 1) scientific presentation at
schools; 2) students visit research labs;
3) students develop research projects in consultation
with scientists. The multi-layered approach
will ensure the students have a solid introduction
to genomics and research. To reach beyond
the initial schools, the projects and presentations
will be posted on Genome
BC’s education website.
