Ulrich M. Gassner hat das Medizinprodukterecht bereits frühzeitig in seinen wissenschaftlichen Fokus gerückt und über Jahrzehnte geprägt. Dabei hat er stets einen interdisziplinär angelegten Untersuchungsansatz verfolgt, der neben rechtlichen auch technische, ökonomische, pharmazeutische und ethische Perspektiven beinhaltet – mit dem Ziel, praxisrelevante Sachverhalte für die Anwender verständlich und greifbar zu machen. Die Beiträge der vorliegenden Festschrift behandeln zahlreiche Facetten seines Wirkens. Das Werk enthält Texte seiner Schüler, Weggefährten und Projektpartner, die aus rechtswissenschaftlichen und interdisziplinären Blickwinkeln u.a. Themen wie Medical Device Regulation, Compliance und Künstliche Intelligenz analysieren.Mit Beiträgen vonProf. Dr. Christoph Becker | RA Dr. Julian Braun, FAMedR | RA Dr. Martin Sebastian Greiff, FAMedR | Prof. Dr. Roman Grinblat, LL.M. | RAin Maria Heil, M.C.L.
