Greenwall Fellows
 

 
The following individuals are currently enrolled in the Institute's Greenwall Fellowship in Bioethics and Health Policy. The post-doctoral fellowship is run jointly with Georgetown University.
 
 
Brooke Cunningham, M.D., Ph.D., is a senior resident in Internal Medicine at Duke University Medical Center.  Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Cunningham attended the University of Virginia as an undergraduate, where she majored in History and African and African-American Studies.  She completed her MD at the University of Pennsylvania, where she also received a PhD in Sociology.  Her dissertation examines the controversy surrounding international trials to prevent mother to child transmission of HIV, and explores the factors that led to the emergence of these trials as a social problem in biomedicine.  As part of that work, she explores how race was operationalized by researchers and their critics.  As a Greenwall fellow, she plans to transform her dissertation into a book, and advance her interest in race and medical research, with a particular interest in genomics.  She is also interested in critically thinking about the provision of primary care in our country, and how the further commodification of medicine affects physician training, access to services and medicines, and the doctor-patient relationship.
Matt DeCamp, M.D., Ph.D., graduated from Purdue University(2000) with a degree in biochemistry. He then entered the Duke University Medical Scientist Training Program,where he completed his PhD in philosophy ("Global Health: A Normative Analysis of Intellectual Property Rights and Global Distributive Justice"). While at Duke he worked closely with the Trent Center for Bioethics, Humanities, and History ofMedicine; the Center for Genome Ethics, Law, and Policy; the Program on Global Health and Technology Access; and the Institutional Review Board.   From 2008-2010 he was an internal medicine resident at the University of Michigan. As a Greenwall Fellow, Matthew plans to continue his work on intellectual property rights and global distributive justice; further examine ethics guidance for short-term medical outreach trips; and begin analyzing normative change theory and practice regarding a human right to health.


 
Kathy King, Ph.D., studied Philosophy and Molecular Biology as an undergraduate at the University of Colorado, Boulder.  She then earned advanced degrees in Neuroscience at Oxford, and Philosophy at the London School of Economics and Political Science as a Marshall Scholar.   Her doctoral thesis extended the work of liberal egalitarian thinkers to a population that includes children, focusing on the implications of children’s development for the scope and structure of distributive theory. While completing her dissertation, she worked at New York University in the Department of Pediatrics and the Center for Bioethics, conducting health policy research and teaching bioethics.  As a Greenwall Fellow, she will use the case of childhood immunizations to explore how information about risks to children’s health is evaluated and used in public policy. 
Nicole Martinez, J.D., earned her AB degree in Anthropology and Latin American Studies from Princeton University, and her JD from Harvard Law School.  At Harvard, she was an Articles Editor for the Latino Law Review.  Nicole practiced law in the international project finance group at Mayer, Brown & Platt in Chicago, before working at the Institute for Public Law in New Mexico.  Nicole received her Master’s Degree in Comparative Human Development from the University of Chicago.  Her current research interests include the way in which the responsibility of mentally ill individuals is evaluated, and the implications for the way in which mentally ill criminal offenders are addressed in the justice system.
