| Faculty Bio: |
| Michelle N. Meyer received her A.B.,
summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, and with highest honors in her major from Dartmouth College. She then earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in Religious Studies (bioethics concentration) at the University of Virginia. After completing her doctoral studies, she was a Research Fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, where she worked on issues related to DNA and the criminal justice system, including postconviction testing and offender databases. She then earned her J.D. from Harvard Law School, where she was an Editor of the
Harvard Law Review and Founding Co-Editor of the
Harvard Law Review Forum. Her law review Note, on the ways in which the ethics of human subject research can inform the ethics of non-traditional forms of lawyering in which the good of a client may be in tension with the good of a legal cause, was cited as recommended reading in
The Green Bag's Almanac of Exemplary Legal Writing of 2006. Following law school, she clerked for the Honorable Stanley Marcus of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. She was a Greenwall Fellow from 20072009. She is currently an Institute Fellow at the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government and Visiting Assistant Professor in the Union Graduate College-Mt. Sinai School of Medicine Bioethics Program. Beginning in July of 2010, she will be an Academic Fellow at the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School.
She has written on the ethical and legal issues involved in stem cell research, research with human subjects, reproduction, and genetics. Her current research explores the possibility of governing (some) human subjects research through private ordering rather than state regulation.
