Christine Grady, RN, PhD, FAAN will deliver the Trent Center's 2027 Boyarsky Lecture on Friday, April 9th, 2027. Grady is the former Chief of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health and is currently a professor of neuroscience in the Georgetown University School of Medicine. She is one of the defining voices of American bioethics — shaping national policy on everything from informed consent to the ethics of vaccine development during COVID-19.
The Boyarsky Lectureship in Law, Medicine and Bioethics was created through a gift from Drs. Saul and Rose Boyarsky to bring distinguished lecturers to the Duke campus who speak on topics ranging from social justice and public health through science. Past recipients have included Naomi Rosenberg, William Barber III, Jonathan Haidt, and Ezekiel Emanuel.
