New Book: "The Protection of Traditional Knowledge at the Frontiers of Drug Discovery"

The Protection of Traditional Knowledge at the Frontiers of Drug Discovery

Peter S Harrison

This book concerns the often fractious interface between drug discovery and commercialisation, environmental degradation, the biodiversity crisis, the exploitation of Indigenous peoples and the destruction of their culture, the right to health, inequalities of power, and the ability of the law to protect knowledge.

The book is aimed at all those with an interest in the control of Indigenous genetic knowledge and the protection of Indigenous culture, whether academics, anthropologists or pharmaceutical researchers, and those seeking to make Indigenous rights work, as activists, legislators or practising lawyers.

Peter S Harrison is Senior Lecturer in Law (Associate Professor) at the University of York, UK.
