Dr. Irene Domenici serves as a Senior Researcher at the Department of Foreign and International Social Law, Max Planck Institute for Social Law and Social Policy in Munich, Germany. Her work critically examines the interplay between legal frameworks, ethical imperatives, and healthcare governance across European jurisdictions.
Her research spans Health Law, Bioethics, Comparative Legal Systems, and Constitutional Law, with concentrated expertise in conscientious objection in abortion, pandemic triage protocols, innovative health technology regulation, and vaccine prioritization policies. She employs rigorous comparative analysis of German, Italian, and English healthcare systems to address ethical dilemmas in resource allocation, reproductive rights, and democratic legitimacy during public health crises.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a pronounced focus on landmark judicial decisions (particularly from the European Court of Human Rights) and systemic responses to healthcare controversies. Her scholarship consistently bridges theoretical legal analysis with urgent practical challenges, emphasizing human rights implications in contexts ranging from prenatal testing to end-of-life care. Key thematic threads include the tension between state neutrality and ethical oversight, sustainability of conscientious objection mechanisms, and multilevel governance fragmentation during pandemics.
Dr. Domenici publishes extensively in premier journals including the European Journal of Health Law, Medical Law Review, and BioLaw Journal, with her 2023 monograph establishing a foundational framework for understanding controversial technology integration in public healthcare systems. Her collaborative work frequently engages with scholars like Christian Günther and Lucia Busatta to develop comparative solutions for complex regulatory challenges.
