Overview
My primary research interests are in applied research ethics and ethics and infectious disease. In particular I am interested in the local review of human subject research, methods to improve the informed consent process, and the obligations researchers have to the subjects they enroll.  My policy interests include HIV/AIDS and civilian biodefense.
