Research
Jeanne's research interests fall within the general health law field. A major area of interest has been legal responses to human reproduction. Her primary interest has been the legal response to a relatively new reproductive genetic technology, Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, which was the subject of her PhD. More recent research interests include the implication of behavioural genetics and neuroscience on the law.
