Professor Brino's research focuses on the intersection of labor law with globalization, sustainability, and digital transformation. Her work examines how international labor standards interact with corporate governance structures, global value chains, and emerging digital workplace technologies. She investigates the evolving relationship between workers' rights and corporate accountability frameworks, particularly in transnational contexts where traditional national labor regulation faces significant challenges.

Her research output shows a clear progression toward examining sustainability frameworks, corporate due diligence obligations, and the digital transformation of work. The recent publications indicate a strong focus on how European and international regulatory frameworks are evolving to address corporate responsibility for labor rights across global supply chains.
