1. Could you please introduce yourself?

My name is Michael Lognoul. I’m a researcher at the Centre de recherche Information, Droit et Sociétés in the Faculty of Law at the University of Namur. I’ve recently started a PhD and I’m working as an assistant in the fields of information, computer and internet law.

2. Why do you support the 101 Genomes Foundation’s 101 Genomes Marfan Project?

I met Romain almost two years ago while doing a legal internship at his law firm, just as he was deciding to launch this project with Ludivine, and just as I was getting ready to start my own business. I was able to help him with questions of privacy and personal data processing related to all these research topics via bioinformatics, artificial intelligence and big data..

3. Is there potential in these new technologies?

Certainly. We have the opportunity to make judicious use of new technology tools that give hope to heal children like Romain and Ludivine and many others.

4. Why is it important for scientists and lawyers to work together?

For the good and simple reason that the legal framework, at present, has been turned upside down quite dramatically by the entry into force of the General Regulation on the Protection of Personal Data. There is therefore a need to establish a legal framework that fits in as closely as possible with research activities. initiated by scientists.
