In a Science Magazine “Policy Forum” article, David Peloquin and Mark Barnes, attorneys in the Boston office of Ropes & Gray, analyze challenges to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation to share biomedical research data beyond the EU.
The authors first examine whether there is room under the GDPR for EU biomedical researchers to share data from the EU with the rest of the world to facilitate biomedical research. They then propose solutions for consideration by either the EU legislature, the EU Commission, or the European Data Protection Board in its planned guidance on the processing of health data for scientific research. Finally, they urge the EDPB to revisit its recent guidance on COVID-19 research.
