Darren Bush served as a panelist regarding “Aviation Focus: Algorithmic Pricing and Recent Enforcements” at the AntitrustTX conference in Houston, Texas on September 24.
Barbara Evans’ designation as a Health Policy Scholar at the Baylor Center for Biomedical Ethics and Health Policy has been renewed by Baylor College of Medicine for the 2019-20 academic year. She accepted an invitation to participate in a panel on “Human Genome Engineering: Benefits, Risks, and Ethics” at the combined meeting of the GP-Write consortium and the Sc2.0 Synthetic Genomes Conference to be held at the NYU Langone Health Center this Fall. She has agreed to serve as a member of the expert Working Group for a proposed 4-year NIH-funded study entitled “Highly Portable and Cloud-Enabled Neuroimaging Research: Confronting Ethics Challenges in Field Research with Diverse Populations,” led by Francis X. Shen, Susan M. Wolf, and Frances Lawrenz of the University of Minnesota. The proposal was submitted to NIH in early October and is under review. The project seeks to develop the first consensus guidance to address brain data privacy and other ethical and legal issues raised by portable imaging devices that enable neuroimaging in field settings, as opposed to traditional healthcare settings. In September, she began serving on the five-member BioEthics Advisory Panel (BEAP) for the $2.8 million NSF Emerging Frontiers grant entitled “Booting Up a Mirror Cell,” led by Neal A. Deveraj of UCSD and Farren Isaacs of Yale. The project is the first attempt to synthesize a cell in which all the key biological molecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, exist in chiral (or mirror-image) states to those naturally occurring in nature. In addition, she attended the September 30 BRAIN Roadmap meeting hosted by the UH Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, to explore proposals for ongoing research after current Phase I NSF-funded BRAIN IU/CRC grant. Professor Evans also worked with students from her Spring 2019 Medical Devices/Biotech course to prepare their class papers for submission to the IEEE Systems Journal’s November 1 Special Issue call for papers on “Translational Issues in Clinical Brain/Machine Interface Systems for Assistance, Diagnostic, and Restorative Applications.” She also worked with faculty at the University of Tartu in Estonia to supervise the doctoral dissertation of former UH Fulbright Scholar and LL.M. alum, Kart Pormeister, who will be defending her dissertation, on EU data privacy law, early in 2020. She also participated in two teleconferences. The first was with members of a Working Group of the Congress of Neurosurgeons that is preparing ethical, privacy, and risk disclosure standards for implantable neurostimulation and neuromodulation devices that collect and store patients’ neurological and health data. The second was with staff from the U.S. Governmental Accountability Office to supply legal literature inputs for a GAO report Congress requested on AI in Drug Discovery and Development. This work is a follow-up to an Expert Meeting hosted by the National Academies of Science and GAO where Professor Evans served as a participant and lead. Finally, Professor Evans was invited to participate in two other GAO studies on AI diagnostic software and AI in healthcare delivery.
