Petrie-Flom Welcomes New Harvard Catalyst Fellow in Clinical Research Ethics
We are pleased to announce our newest addition, Luke Gelinas, who will be serving as the first Petrie-Flom Center/Harvard Catalyst Fellow in Clinical Research Ethics. Luke earned his PhD in Philosophy in 2014 from the University of Toronto, where he was a graduate fellow at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Ethics; he also has an MA in Religion summa cum laude from Yale Divinity School. Most recently, Luke completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health and training in Clinical Ethics at Albany Medical College. Luke’s research interests focus primarily on the concept of informed consent. His past scholarship has explored the ethics of exploiting common heuristics and biases to nudge people during the consent process, as well as the conditions under which consent can justifiably be waived in research with humans. As the Fellow in Clinical Research Ethics, Luke will advance several projects as part of the Harvard Catalyst Regulatory Foundations, Ethics, and Law Program, with a particular emphasis on the regulatory, ethical, and practical aspects associated with recruitment and retention of research participants. Luke’s work has been published in several academic journals, including Hastings Center Report, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, and American Journal of Bioethics.
