He frequently serves as an advisor on California, national, and international policy issues, and chairs the California Advisory Committee on Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Active in university leadership, Professor Greely chairs the steering committee for the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics, directs both the law school’s Center for Law and the Biosciences and the Program on Neuroethics, and serves on the leadership council for the university’s interdisciplinary Bio-X Program. Before joining the Stanford Law School Faculty in 1985, Professor Greely was a partner at Tuttle & Taylor and served as the staff assistant to the secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy.
