Lena Wahlberg
Assistant head of department
Lena Wahlberg is associate professor in jurisprudence, specializing in medical law. Her research within the program will focus on the meaning of the notion vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet in Swedish health law.
In collaboration with other researchers in the program, she will conduct a critical doctrinal analysis of the notion’s current interpretation in Swedish health law, including an assessment of how well the current interpretation accords with medical and scientific-theoretical conceptions of evidence. Based on this investigation, a refined legal conceptual apparatus will be developed, which is sensitive not only to the values and objectives that underlie the legal regulation but also to the practical problems that arise in medico-legal communication.
