Panna Darazs

Panna Darazs is a Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law (MPIL) and a PhD candidate at Heidelberg University. She concurrently pursues a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Eberhard Karls University Tübingen while contributing to academic coordination initiatives at MPIL.

Her academic background includes:

• First State Examination in Law (2022) from Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg
• Law studies at Heidelberg University (2015-2022) with specialization in European Business Law and Digital Single Market
• Year abroad at Université Aix-Marseille (2017-2018)
• Internships at the European Court of Justice and CMS Hasche Sigle

Darazs' research centers on Biomedical Law and Genetic Engineering Law, particularly examining private legal frameworks for CRISPR/Cas9 germline interventions in human medicine. Her work intersects with International Law, European Union regulatory systems, and Consumer Protection mechanisms. She explores ethical-legal tensions in emerging biotechnologies while maintaining strong engagement with Business Law sustainability frameworks and global legal harmonization efforts.

Her recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on contemporary legal challenges: analyzing consumer protection jurisprudence from the European Court of Justice, evaluating sustainability integration in business law, and investigating pathways toward global legal consistency through international institutions. These works reveal her interdisciplinary methodology bridging doctrinal legal analysis with practical policy considerations.

Darazs actively disseminates her research through doctoral seminars at Heidelberg and Mannheim Universities and departmental presentations under Prof. Dr. Marc-Philippe Weller's supervision. Fluent in German, Hungarian, English, French, and Italian, she leverages multilingual capabilities in international legal research contexts.
