With over 20 years of experience in the pre-clinical research field, CeCe Brotchie-Fine has held roles from husbandry through administration. She began her research journey working in the nutrition laboratory of the Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park assisting with projects to better understand the metabolism of the Mojave Desert Tortoise (Gopherus agassizii). A Certified Professional IACUC Administrator, CeCe first became involved with IACUC administration during a position with a start-up biotech company and quickly developed a passion for ethics, animal welfare and regulatory compliance. She currently works at Novartis as Executive Director, Ethics in the Ethics, Risk and Compliance function for R&D. Prior to this, she was Associate Director & Head, Animal Welfare Compliance at Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research in Cambridge, MA, where she was the IACUC Chair and lead several global animal welfare initiatives. With equal enthusiasm for teaching, CeCe has presented to those new to the field of pre-clinical research, as well as to undergraduate and graduate students both as an invited speaker and course instructor. She has received a B.S. in Animal Science from the University of Massachusetts, M.A. in Psychology from Lesley University, M.S. in Bioethics from Columbia University, and will complete her Doctor of Bioethics degree at Loyola University Chicago in 2024.
