Dr. Karen S. Rommelfanger is a neurotech ethicist and strategist. She founded and directs the Institute of Neuroethics, the first think tank dedicated to neuroethics, working across sectors to promote trusted neuroscience for all. Pioneering neuroethics-by-design approaches, she launched the first neuroethics consultancy Ningen Neuroethics Co-Lab. Her early career as PhD-trained neuroscientist, organically evolved into neuroethics research exploring how neuroscience challenges definitions of health across cultures and the ensuing societal implications of neurotechnology deployment. As a scholar, she maintains a professorship at Emory University in Neurology where she established a Neuroethics Program, has published extensively in neuroscience and neuroethics. She is a member of the NIH BRAIN Neuroethics Working Group and co-authored the BRAIN 2.0 Neuroethics Roadmap.
