Alison Bateman-House, MPH, PhD

I am an ethicist, a public health professional, and a medical historian. My research is primarily focused on ethics and policy issues concerning access to investigational medical products, both inside and outside of clinical trials. One particular area of interest is in the equity of access: who gets access to what, how?
In recent years, my colleagues and I have become interested in several areas of active inquiry: 1) can useful efficacy data be obtained from non-trial uses of unapproved medical products; 2) how to most ethically and pragmatically advance the new field of individualized therapeutics; 3) the ethics of pediatric gene therapy trials; and 4) what amount of and quality of data is needed to make clinical & regulatory decisions.
I am also interested in and conducted research on the history, ethics, & public policy of mandatory helmet laws.
