Professor Boggio's research pioneers the human right to science framework, examining legal-ethical dimensions of biosciences through lenses of science diplomacy, innovation policy, and global health governance. His seminal 2024 Oxford University Press book The Human Right to Science: History, Development and Normative Content establishes foundational principles for applying human rights law to emerging technologies. Current work investigates gene editing regulation, biobank governance, and scientific freedom during global health emergencies, emphasizing transnational policy coherence and equitable benefit-sharing mechanisms.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a critical trajectory connecting international human rights instruments with contemporary scientific challenges, particularly in biotechnology regulation where he advocates for human rights-based approaches over purely ethical frameworks. His scholarship demonstrates increasing focus on operationalizing the right to science through indicator development and model legislation.
Key recognitions include:
- Santander Faculty Research Collaboration Award (2017)
- Fulbright-Lund University Distinguished Scholar (2025-26)
- Multiple MERIT Awards (2009-2015)

As Associate Editor of Human Reproduction (European Society of Human Reproduction publication) and Journal of Legal Studies Education, he shapes scholarly discourse while serving on the Massachusetts Science & Technology Policy Fellowship Advisory Board, College Board's CLEP Business Law Committee, and as GESDA Foundation consultant. A New York Bar member, he maintains active legal practice alongside academia.
His Faculty Fellowship at Bryant's Center for Health and Behavioral Sciences drives interdisciplinary integration of legal perspectives into health sciences research, particularly through science diplomacy initiatives examining how human rights frameworks can guide international scientific collaboration during geopolitical tensions.
