BIO

Sven Gallasch is a Lecturer at Deakin Law School. Originally educated at the
University of Trier and the University of Augsburg in Germany, Sven holds a
German Diploma in Law. He has also been awarded with a LLM in Competition Law
and Policy (2009) and a PhD in Law (2014) from the University of East Anglia,
Norwich, United Kingdom. His doctoral thesis is entitled 'The anticompetitive
misuse of intellectual property rights in the European pharmaceutical sector'
and was passed without corrections.

He frequently publishes in the area of pharmaceutical antitrust and engages
with policy makers and other stakeholders at an international level. He was
invited to deliver the keynote speech during the 7th United Nations Conference
to Review the UN Set on Competition Policy and participated in the Round Table
on The Role of Competition in the Pharmaceutical Sector and its Benefits for
Consumers at UNCTAD in Geneva. He was also invited to talk about specific
pharmaceutical antitrust issues by the Japan Fair Trade Commission in Tokyo
and by the Federal Antimonopoly Service in Moscow.

Sven has also recently been appointed as the permanent national contributor
for Australia by the European Competition Law Review.

Previously, Sven held teaching positions in Australia (Swinburne Law School,
Melbourne), the United Kingdom (University of East Anglia where he was also a
Faculty Member of the Centre for Competition Policy) and in the United States
as Visiting Professor (University of Stetson College of Law in Gulfport,
Florida where he taught European Antitrust in the JD Program).

Sven is one of the initiators and Co-investigators of OpenLab Africa, which is
a multinational and interdisciplinary research collaboration that aims to
develop natural product medicines for neglected tropical diseases in the sub-
Saharan region.

Most recently, he co-established the Transnational Lawyering Consortium
between Deakin Law School, Western Sydney Law School and Indonesian partners
which facilates transnational research collaborations and transnational
education.

His most recent research project 'Informal cooperation and transnational
convergence in competition policy' is funded by Deakin University and has
received support from the Research Partnership Platform at UNCTAD.
