I am a professor of law and bioethics at UW–Madison and co-director of the Law and Neuroscience Program. Formerly, I was a director at the Institute for Ethics at the American Medical Association and worked as staff for the federal government’s program on the Ethical, Legal and Social Implications of Human Genomics. I have served on numerous federal and international science policy advisory committees. My research interests include governance of large-scale biosciences research, protections for people who participate in research, data sharing, ethics of “big data” science and uses of race in research and medicine.
