He joined the Georgia Tech faculty in 2019 as Director of the Law, Science, and Technology Program in the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School of Public Policy.

Anderson Cancer Center, where he served as Chief, ad interim, of Clinical Ethics, and as the inaugural director of the Global Health Law and Policy Project at Emory University School of Law.
