Biography

Meghan Halley, PhD, MPH, joined ³ΙΘΛΏμΚΦ in 2026 as Assistant Professor in the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities in the Institute for Health & Humanity. Dr. Halley completed her MPH in 2009 and her PhD in medical anthropology in 2012 from Case Western Reserve University. She also received additional training in health services research at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute from 2012 through 2016. Dr. Halley’s current work focuses on the psychological, social, ethical, and policy dimensions of rare genetic diseases. Her recent studies have utilized a variety of methods to examine how diverse stakeholders’ values shape public perceptions of the value of new genomic technologies, to explore ethical challenges emerging in patient-focused drug development for rare genetic diseases, and to develop new measures of health-related quality of life in pediatric rare diseases. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Human Genome Research Institute and has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Nature Genetics, and the American Journal of Bioethics.
