Michael Summers, Ph.D., earned his B.S. in chemistry from the University of West Florida in 1980 and received his Ph.D. in 1984 in bioinorganic chemistry from Emory University. His laboratory has worked in the area of biological magnetic resonance spectroscopy for nearly 30 years. Dr. Summers has served terms on two National Institutes of Health (NIH) study sections and has been continuously funded by NIH since 1989 (including 20 years of NIH MERIT support). He has also been a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator for more than 20 years and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2016. Dr. Summers and his team recently developed a novel nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method that enabled structural probing of the intact HIV-1 5´-leader (>700 nucleotide dimer) and showed that the leader undergoes dimerization-dependent remodeling; they also determined the NMR structure of a minimal region of the HIV-1 leader sufficient to direct RNA packaging. He has mentored 47 graduate students (66 percent women) and 24 postdoctoral fellows (58 percent women). Examples of female postdocs who successfully matriculated to research-intensive faculty positions include Victoria D’Souza (full professor with tenure at Harvard), Sepideh Khorasanizadeh (rose to full professor at the University of Virginia, now at the Burnham Institute), and Xiao Heng (tenure-track assistant professor at the University of Missouri–Columbia). Dr. Summers also directs an HHMI education grant program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, that supports high-achieving underrepresented-minority (URM) undergraduates and an NIH Initiative for Maximizing Student Development–supported program for diversifying graduate programs, which now supports more than 80 URM Ph.D. students. For his mentoring activities he has received the Ruth Kirschstein Award of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (2014), the Carl Brändén Award of the Protein Society (2011), the American Association for the Advancement of Science Mentor Award (2003), the Emily M.

On February 26, 2020, the Board on Health Sciences Policy of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosted a 1-day public workshop in Washington, DC, to examine current and emerging bioethical issues that might arise in the context of biomedical research and to consider research topics in bioethics that could benefit from further attention. The scope of bioethical issues in research is broad, but this workshop focused on issues related to the development and use of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and machine learning in research and clinical practice; issues emerging as nontraditional approaches to health research become more widespread; the role of bioethics in addressing racial and structural inequalities in health; and enhancing the capacity and diversity of the bioethics workforce. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
