She counsels clients on data privacy requirements under US federal and state law, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and various state genetic and other health information privacy laws, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Jiayan provides guidance on research compliance and development, including preparation of protocols and informed consent and authorizations, as well as institutional, sponsor, and IRB compliance with the Common Rule and FDA Good Clinical Practices. She also works with clients on mapping and implementing data use and sharing strategies with the appropriate data governance and programmatic safeguards.
