New Executive Director in Research Compliance

Ms. Tania Ghani, MS, CIP – has been promoted to Executive Director, Office of Research Compliance. In this expanded role, she will be overseeing the various teams of the HSC research compliance programs: human subject protection (IRB), institutional animal care and use (IACUC), research conflict of interest, and research integrity. In addition, she will be working closely with Dr. J. Thomas Cunningham, Associate Vice President for Research, to develop the International Compliance program at HSC, which includes Export Control matters associated with research. As if that weren’t enough, Ms. Ghani also volunteered to be a Team Lead and a Launch Coach in the HSC Process Improvement Initiative.

Throughout all of her roles and responsibilities, she has an excellent sense of humor, and leads and interacts well with her team members (you can hear the occasional bursts of enthusiasm and joy in that workplace). Ms. Ghani exemplifies all of the Values of HSC, especially Collaboration, Integrity, and Serve Others First.
