Kimmelman received the 2006 Maud Menten New Investigator Prize (Institute of Genetics), a CIHR New Investigator Salary Award (2008), a Friedrich Bessel-Humboldt Fellowship (2014), and was elected as a Hastings Center Fellow (2018).  He has been a commentator in numerous media outlets, including the New York Times, Globe and Mail, and BBC World Service.  He also has served in an advisory capacity for the World Medical Association, FDA, and the Canadian Institute of Health Research.  Kimmelman formerly chaired the ethics and public policy committee of the International Society of Stem Cell Research, where he led revisions of the society’s ethics guidelines for stem cell research and clinical translation. He has served as a member on three National Academy of Medicine Committees – including one advising NASA on Health Standards for Long Duration and Exploration Spaceflights. He is a deputy editor at Clinical Trials, and an associate editor at PLoS Biology.

When not writing grants or responding to referee comments, Kimmelman can be found wandering through industrial ruins, or listening to contemporary classical music.


Benjamin “Murph” Carlisle

Benjamin Carlisle earned his MA and PhD in the Biomedical Ethics Unit of McGill University. His master’s thesis was a critique of phase IV drug studies, and his doctoral thesis was an analysis of the moral efficiency of clinical trials in anti-cancer drug development. Prior to coming to McGill, he studied philosophy and medical science at the University of Western Ontario. Murph’s side-interests include the violins and Lojban.


Geoffroy Carpier

Dr. Geoffroy Carpier is an anthropologist of science currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at STREAM. He earned his PhD in Sociology and Anthropology at the Université de Rouen in 2021. Funded by the French National Cancer Institute (INCa, 2015-2018), his doctoral research examined an emerging specialization at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that focused on the promotion and the conduct of medical research on Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), as well as the concomitant establishment of a new medical specialty, namely “integrative medicine”, since the 1990s. His anthropological work investigates the boundaries of current scientific activities in North America. 

Prior to coming to STREAM, Dr. Carpier was a visiting research scholar at New York University (NYU), Department of Anthropology, and a guest researcher at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). As a lecturer, he also taught social sciences for two years in a joint graduate program (Medical School – Department of Political Science) at Université Jean Monnet.

At STREAM, Geoffroy is working on the interface of science and ethics when institutional review committees arrive at judgements about the initiation of cancer trials for new drugs.

Peter Grabitz

 

 

Peter Grabitz

Peter Grabitz is currently finishing medical school at Charité University Berlin in Germany. His work at STREAM analyses reasons why paradigms in clinical research persist – even though evidence suggests otherwise. Peter currently focuses on citation networks in cancer drug development and wants to develop different and new ways of visualizing relations between scientific publications. He likes to rethink established structures in research wherever possible. Be aware: If you ask him about where to publish research, you may very well end up in an emotional discussion about access to knowledge. Surprisingly, he believes table tennis players are respected sportsmen (because he is one himself) and loves to do Origami.
