Her most prominent role as a publisher has been to develop tools and processes that permit continual updating of the evidence base of biomedical content, bringing to audiences the cutting edge of research backed by expert opinion. Her projects have also focused on communicating at the boundaries of specialty science to promote an interdisciplinary and cultural perspective.

Prior to the founding of Rapid Science in early 2014, Ms. Greene served as Executive Director of Cancer Commons in Palo Alto, where she developed online communities, content, and apps for researchers and patients, connecting the lab, the clinic and the patient’s experience. Previous to that she was Editor-in-Chief of The Scientist magazine and its parent, Faculty of 1000, a post-publication peer review service in London that enlists the expert opinions of over 10,000 biomedical researchers worldwide to rate and review the top evidence in their specialties.
