Marcus Piattoni, BS

Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator
Fields of Interest: 

Marcus is a recent Loyola University Chicago graduate who majored in Neuroscience and minored in Bioethics.

His interest in Neuroethics began when he joined the Bioethics Bowl Team at Loyola University Chicago during my freshman year. While he found nearly all the bioethical topics quite engaging, the ethical dilemmas surrounding emerging neurotechnology and surrogate decision-making particularly piqued his interest. His eagerness to learn more about the ethics of neurotechnology and surrogate decision-making ultimately led him to the Decision Lab. He is particularly interested in Dr. Chiong’s research on neurotechnology, dementia, and decision-making and is grateful to have the opportunity to contribute to such important research.

In his spare time, he enjoys reading, collecting vintage books, thrifting, and playing video games.
