[1] Gamble began her career with appointments at the Harvard School of Public Health, Hampshire College, and the University of Massachusetts.

In 1989, she was appointed an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin, where she taught courses on the intersection of race and public health in the United States.

[1] The committee's final report, published on May 20, called for then-President Bill Clinton to issue an apology in response to the harm done to the Macon County community and Tuskegee University, and the fears of government and medical abuse it created among African Americans.

The report also called for the creation of programs to educate the public regarding the study, to train health care providers, and for ethics in scientific research.

She called attention to a broader historical and social context that had already negatively influenced community attitudes, including countless prior medical injustices before the study's start in 1932.
