Madelena Ng
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Ethics
BioDr. Madelena Ng is a Postdoctoral Scholar and NHGRI T32 ELSI Research Fellow at the Laurie J. Girand Center for Biomedical Ethics (GCBE) at Stanford. Dr. Ng is an applied health scientist whose work evaluates the real-world impact of emerging technologies on people and society. Her research has consistently shown that technological solutions alone are insufficient in addressing the shortcomings inherent in the biomedical research ecosystem.
Prior to Dr. Ng's appointment at GCBE, she was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Stanford Division in Computation Medicine leading foundational work in AI ethics, governance, and responsible innovation. She will further her training in ELSI research at the intersection of generative biology, multisector research practices, and regulation. As generative AI continues to advance rapidly, she aims to embed ethics into the core of health AI development, operations, and decision-making. -
