Joanna Weinberg, J.D., LL.M., is Associate Adjunct Professor, Institute for Health & Aging, Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Adjunct Professor and Director, Law, Science and Health Policy Coordinator, Hastings College of Law. She was a postdoctoral fellow from 1992-94 in the IHA/IHPS Postdoctoral Program in Health Policy, and currently serves as a member of the Fellowship Committee.
Dr. Weinberg's primary research involves health care and research ethics, including policy and organizational issues relating to stem cell research, research ethical and human subjects protection, pandemic disease, bio-terror and disaster preparedness for individuals with special needs, and legislative and administrative issues in health policy.
She has been appointed by UC Hastings College of the Law, San Francisco, to coordinate academic and research activities between the Law School and UCSF. Together with UCSF Medical School faculty, she developed and co-teaches a seminar in Public Health and Homelessness, which brings together UCSF medical students and Hastings law students who volunteer in a Homeless Clinic in San Francisco, to discuss ways in which he medical and legal professions address the needs of the underserved through different lenses. Dr. Weinberg has developed a seminar in Public Health Law, which she will offer at Hastings in Spring 2008; the seminar will also be available to UCSF students.
She was an organizer of a Fall 2006 UCSF Conference on Stem Cell Medicine in an Ethical World, and works with the Integrating Medicine and Public Health Program on disaster and emergency preparedness. Other research interests include elder abuse and neglect, advance medical directives and end-of-life care, and patient safety and complaint mechanisms.
