Rami is a postdoctoral fellow in the ELSI of Precision Medicine and Other Biotechnologies. This fellowship is jointly sponsored by the Center for The Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Biotechnologies (ELSI@ºÚÁÏÍø), the Center for Bioethics (C:B), and the Program for Precision Medicine in Health Care (PPMH). She graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Genetics, participating in bench research, ethics initiatives, and policy programs. She then went on to get her Ph.D. in Genetics and Molecular Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where her project focused on CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing optimization in mammalian cells and the ethical implications of prenatal human gene editing. While in graduate school, she led the Science Policy and Advocacy Group and was involved in many science communication and outreach initiatives. Rami is interested in the ethical and policy implications of emerging technologies, particularly as they relate to accessibility. In her role as a postdoctoral fellow, she is working on a number of projects related to the ethics of emerging genetic technologies, clinical ethics, bioethics education, and gene therapy implementation. Her long-term interests lie in how ethical and healthcare policy considerations factor into patient care and clinical trial administration.
