Education

An interdisciplinary scholar, Williams-Jones completed a bachelor's degree in

Interdisciplinary studies (bioethics) at the W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics[8] at the University of British Columbia, where he focused on issues of genetics and ethics.[9][10] He then did a post-doctoral fellowship at the Centre for Family Research,[11] University of Cambridge, and was a junior research fellow at Homerton College. Before taking up his current position as professor at the Université de Montréal, he worked for a year as a research ethicist at the Cardiff Institute of Society, Health and Ethics, Cardiff University

Research

Williams-Jones is interested in the socio-ethical and policy implications of health innovations in diverse contexts. His work examines the conflicts that arise in academic research and professional practice with a view to developing practical ethical tools to manage these conflicts when they cannot be avoided. He has published more than 200 articles, commentaries, book chapters and case studies,[12] on topics related to public health policy, regulation and science and technology innovation on subjects including genetics, pharmaceutical development, direct-to-consumer advertising, nanotechnology, and pharmacogenomics. He has also published on the responsible conduct of research (i.e., research integrity, research ethics), with a focus on the management of conflicts of interest.

Academic service

Williams-Jones is active in developing innovative pedagogical approaches in bioethics, professional ethics, public health ethics, and research integrity. From 2010-2022 he directed the Bioethics Program[13] in the School of Public Health, Université de Montréal, and starting in December 2020 he became Director of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine. He has served on university committees in the Faculty of Graduate Studies and in the School of Public Health, to develop governance initiatives to encourage the responsible conduct of research and prevent misconduct (such as plagiarism and conflicts of interest[14]). He was a member of the top-level University research ethics committees,[15] and has served on expert advisory committees for the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Genome Canada, and the Quebec National Institute for Excellence in Health and Social Services (INESSS).[16]
