About

Santa Slokenberga is a leading legal scholar at the intersection of health law, bioethics, and human rights, with a particular focus on the governance of emerging technologies. Her research critically examines how existing legal frameworks—at international, EU, and national levels—must evolve to address the ethical and human rights challenges posed by advances in human genetics and genomics, human enhancement, and artificial intelligence. As a key contributor to the SIENNA project, she co-authored the influential report "SIENNA D5.6: Recommendations for the enhancement of the existing legal frameworks for genomics, human enhancement, and AI and robotics" (2020, 3 citations), which provides concrete proposals for adapting legal and human rights instruments to foster responsible innovation. Her work is foundational for policymakers and scholars navigating the complex regulatory landscape of biotechnologies. Slokenberga’s contributions are vital for ensuring that legal systems remain robust and rights-protective in an era of rapid scientific change, making her a pivotal voice in the governance of human enhancement and genomic technologies.
