Bio

Marsha Michie, PhD: Dr. Marsha Michie is Associate Professor of Bioethics at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, where she co-directs the PhD in Bioethics. Dr. Michie is an anthropologist and empirical bioethicist who received her PhD in Anthropology from University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Before coming to Case Western Reserve University in 2017, she held postdoctoral fellowships at UNC-Chapel Hill and Stanford University and was a faculty member at the University of California, San Francisco Institute for Health and Aging. Dr. Michie’s research primarily focuses on ethical and social issues in genetics and reproduction, with particular interests in research ethics, health equity, and disability. Her recent research includes work in the areas of reproductive genomic interventions, the ethics of research with pregnant populations, the ethical and equitable translation of gene editing technologies such as CRISPR, the delivery and support of prenatal genetic information from screening and testing, and the ways that ethical concerns in reproductive and genomic technologies disproportionately impact people from racial, ethnic, sex and/or gender minorities. Her work has been funded by NIH and private foundations.
