Bio

I am a bioethicist and Lecturer in Bioethics & Society at King's College London. I am interested in the intersections of genetics, ethics and society, with a special interest in sport. I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Bioethics & Society in Department of Global Health & Social Medicine at King's College London, where I direct the new Master’s in Bioethics & Society. My first book, “From Bench to bedside to track & Field: the context of enhancement and its ethical relevance,” was published for University of California Medical Humanities Press in 2014. I am now working on a second book project with Mike McNamee, titled “Bioethics, Genetics & Sport,” which will be published by Routledge in the Ethics & Sport Series in 2017.
