She is an Associate Researcher at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research, Montreal. As a philosopher with a specialization in bioethics, it was her service on university and hospital research ethics boards (REBs) that fostered her interest in research ethics. She now has a tremendous breadth of understanding of research methodologies and challenges, normative texts and their application to ethical research, resolution of challenging research ethics situations, and the realities faced by academic researchers, REBs and their institutions.
