Janice Graham is a Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases) and Medical Anthropology, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Distinguished Research Professor, and former Canada Research Chair in Bioethics.

Her research unpacks regulatory standards and practices in the development of emerging therapeutics and vaccines in Canada, Europe, and Africa, focusing on safety, efficacy, and trustworthiness in the construction and legitimization of evidence. Janice is particularly interested in transparency, open data, public and planetary health governance, commercialization of publicly funded innovation, and the moral basis of profit when disease becomes a market opportunity.

She has presented evidence to the Science Policy Directorate, Health Canada, Office of Legislative and Regulatory Modernization, the Parliament of Canada, World Health Organization, and United Nations on open data, regulatory practices, and emergency response.

She is the author of over 170 peer reviewed articles, co-editor of The Social Life of Standards: Ethnographic Methods for Local Engagement (2021, UBC Press) and Transparency, Power, and Influence in the Pharmaceutical Industry: Policy Gain or Confidence Game? (2021, University of Toronto Press) and several reports on vaccines and public trust.
