Pharmaceutical law is undoubtedly one of the specialties of the "Health Law" axis that best ensures the team's visibility. This field of research is, from a legal point of view, poorly exploited in France.
Projects
Hospital law can be described as the second marker of the team's disciplinary visibility. The books and manuals on this subject have been particularly praised. In recent years, hospital law has given rise to reflections on the organization of the health care system, on financing mechanisms and on liability. In the last few months, the subject has been in full mutation and the team has been able to take advantage of it to propose innovative publications.
Traditional medicine is probably the most surprising object of study. In the West, work on it is, to say the least, scarce. This lack of research does not mean that traditional medicine is not of interest to the researcher or the professional. The emergence of new medical techniques and the demands for a more alternative medicine have raised many legal questions.
The problem of violence in all its forms (physical, psychological, verbal, symbolic) has been the subject of a galloping inflation of legislation in France and abroad, the aim of which is to ensure better protection for victims, with diversified responses.
While it will rely on the skills of established researchers in population genetics, biological anthropology and the history of epidemics, this axis also intends to open up to the skills of the "Corps, normes, santé" team in health law, ethics and odontology. Knowledge will gain in comprehensiveness through an exploration of the epidemic body in its multiple facets.
The horizon of understanding the epidemic phenomenon will also be broadened by taking into account data from soils understood as environmental reservoirs of pathogens and their vectors. The team wants to be a pioneer in this type of approach, which is still on the fringe of scientific approaches, whereas soils are undeniably important epidemic foci because of their preservation of bacterial traces for many years.
