I am a faculty member and co-investigator in the Bioethics Research Center. My research explores the ethical and social implications of genetics and new biomedical technologies such as neuroimaging. I am currently Co-investigator or Site Principal Investigator for numerous NIH funded studies, and I co-direct the Responsible Conduct of Research Course for ICTS scholars
