Since 2017, Gonzalo López, lawyer, joined the Observatory of Bioethics and Law as a research assistant. He was trained in this research program in the area of biolaw. Currently, Gonzalo Lopez is an instructor professor and obtained the title of Master in Bioethics in the program of the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad del Desarrollo and has a Diploma in research ethics and has published articles in recent years.

Juan Alberto Lecaros was co-founder of International Network of Biolaw at Santiago, Chile, which has academics from more than 25 universities in the world (https://redinternacionaldebioderecho.org/). His current group focuses its work on legal innovation in the area of biomedicine and biotechnology, with special emphasis on bench-based science and translational studies. In recent years, the lines of research have been the generation of regulatory proposals to improve and develop national regulation on biomedical research. In 2014, his group published a report with regulatory proposals to improve the regulation of the biomedical research law and update the technical standard in research. This report was the product of a collaborative and interdisciplinary work in association with the National Drug Agency (ANAMED, ISP): Lecaros JA & Del Canto R (2014). Informe Investigacion Biomedica. Nuevas propuestas regulatorias. Registro de Propiedad Intelectual N° 246.677. ISBN 978-956-796-170-2. In 2016, his group published a report with regulatory proposals of use of human biological specimens and biobanks of research: Lecaros JA, Del Canto R (2016). Informe Propuesta Regulatoria sobre obtencion, uso y almacenamiento de muestras biologicas con fines diagnosticos y de investigacion, y creacion de biobancos. Registro de Propiedad Intelectual N° A-269256. ISBN 978-956-374-014-1. Currently, his research is focused on proposing regulatory models for regenerative medicine in Chile (Lecaros JA, Toscano D, LópezG (2018). Informe Regulacion de la Medicina Regenerativa: tension entre la Gobernanza internacional y local. Registro de Propiedad Intelectual N° A-290878. ISBN 978-956-374-021-9) and the development of regulation for research in biomedical informatics, bioinformatics and telehealth (Fundamentos para los lineamientos para la telemedicina y telesalud en Chile.
