The Bioethics Program at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is a multidisciplinary program dedicated to addressing the ethical dimensions of pediatric care and cutting‑edge biomedical research. The program is led by two core faculty — Dr. Liza-Marie Johnson, whose scholarship focuses on clinical and research ethics with particular emphasis on informed consent, patient‑provider communication, and the ethics of novel interventions — and Dr. Meaghann Weaver, whose work spans bioethics, palliative care, quality of life, and end‑of‑life decision‑making for seriously ill children. Together with a clinical ethicist and 2.5 clinical research associate FTE, the team provides clinical and research ethics consultation services, produces original scholarship in bioethics, and engages in organizational ethics to help shape institutional policy and culture. Research themes across the program include ethical issues in pediatric genomic sequencing, communication and decision‑making with seriously ill children and their families, the allocation of emerging therapies, and the experience of suffering and end‑of‑life care in pediatric populations.
