Professor Jacob Sherkow delivered a guest lecture at the University of Houston Law Center's Genetics and the Law Seminar on September 7. His speech centered on a paper he is preparing titled, "The Myth of Genomic Trade Secrecy," which focuses on whether genomic sequences are subject to trade secrecy protection. In a separate event, Sherkow also presented the same working paper at Loyola University Chicago's Wiet Life Science workshop.
