Dr Susan Bull
Susan Bull is Senior Researcher in Ethics of Genomics and Global Health in the MRC Centre for Genomics and Global Health. She collaborates on this project with Professor Michael Parker and Jantina de Vries. The MRC Centre will translate state of the art research on human and pathogen genome variation into large scale clinical and epidemiological investigations of practical relevance for global health. Susi's research interests include healthcare research ethics and in particular, the appropriate design and conduct of consent processes.
Susan holds bachelors degrees in genetics and in law, and studied for her MA and PhD at the Centre of Medical Law and Ethics, King’s College London. As Assistant Director of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, she was responsible for the Council’s Working Party report on the ethics of research related to healthcare in developing countries, and worked on other topics as diverse as GM crops and stem cell research. Susan’s PhD thesis focused on designing context-appropriate consent processes in developing countries, and during this period she also developed an award-winning dossier on research ethics in developing countries for SciDev.Net.
