Summary
Tim Errington is a Senior Director of Research at the Center for Open Science with over a decade of experience bridging preclinical cancer biology and metascience. Trained as a cancer biologist (PhD, UVA) and with graduate work at UC Berkeley, he led the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology and now directs efforts to improve rigor, transparency, and reproducibility across disciplines. He combines hands-on laboratory expertise with programmatic leadership—designing collaborative studies, evaluating interventions, and translating findings into policy and tools that advance research credibility. Based in Charlottesville, he is a frequent speaker on metascience topics and brings a rare cross-disciplinary perspective shaped by running large open-science initiatives that reveal practical barriers to trustworthy research.
