Stephanie Morain Elected Hastings Center Fellow
The Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics is pleased to announce that a member of its faculty, Stephanie Morain, PhD, has been elected a Fellow by The Hastings Center.
Hastings Center Fellows are a group of more than 200 individuals of outstanding accomplishment whose work has informed scholarship and public understanding of complex ethical issues in health, health care, science, and technology. Their common distinguishing feature is uncommon insight and impact in areas of critical concern to the Center–how best to understand and manage the inevitable values questions, moral uncertainties, and societal effects that arise as a consequence of advances in the life sciences, the need to improve health and health care for people of all ages, and mitigation of human impact on the natural world.
Morain, the Dracopoulos Rising Professor in Bioethics and PhD Program Director at the Berman Institute, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. She conducts both empirical and normative research into issues at the intersection of clinical research, public health, and health policy. Dr. Morain’s work focuses on two key areas: ethical and practical challenges presented by the integration of research and care, such as occurs in pragmatic clinical trials and comparative effectiveness, and issues related to women’s reproductive health.
A former Hecht-Levi Postdoctoral Fellow at the Berman Institute, Dr. Morain received her BA from Lafayette College with a dual major in Biology and History, Government, & Law, her MPH from Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, and her PhD from Harvard University’s Interfaculty Initiative in Health Policy.
