Charlisse Caga-anan, JD

Biography

Ms. Charlisse Caga-anan is a program director in the Genomic Epidemiology Branch (GEB) of the Epidemiology and Genomics Research Program (EGRP) in NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS). In this capacity, she works to implement the NIH Genomic Data Sharing Policy and grow NCI's portfolio of bioethics research grants. She currently serves as the DCCPS Genomic Program Administrator and was formerly the chair of the extramural NCI Data Access Committee (eNCI DAC). She also works to implement the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy.

Ms. Caga-anan is the NCI scientific contact for the NHGRI funding opportunities to conduct research on the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of genomics (R01, R21, and R03). She is also an NCI point of contact for NIH-funded bioethics research. She co-organizes the NCI Ethical and Regulatory Issues in Cancer Research (ENRICH) Forum.

Prior to joining EGRP, Ms. Caga-anan was a postdoctoral scholar at the Center for Genetic Research Ethics and Law, an NIH-funded Center for Excellence in Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) Research. In this capacity, she conducted research pertaining to ELSI issues in genetics/genomics research. Ms. Caga-anan also completed the Cleveland Fellowship in Advanced Bioethics, during which she trained in clinical ethics consultation and examined ethical and legal issues in pediatrics, clinical genetics, genetics/genomics research.
