This is one of our nuclear areas of expertise. Professor Hanna Roos has conducted over a decade of research into the intersection of medicine and law with the University of Cambridge. She lectures as External Professor at the Mario Negri Institute, Italy, on the funding of expensive treatment that can save children’s lives, and has been called “one of the most impressive thinkers of her generation” for this work.
