Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University of Tasmania

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University of Tasmania I’m currently postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for Law and Genetics, University of Tasmania. My supervisor is Professor Diane Nicol. The project we are working on is titled “Genome Editing: Formulating an Australian Community Response.” I was previously (2020) postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Melbourne. There I worked with Professor Megan Munsie on a project investigating the regulation and governance of autologous stem cell therapies in Australia and globally. In 2018, I conducted a major review of the scope of disciplinary powers exercisable by the NSW medical regulator under the relevant health practitioner law. I have also published original research on the the history and politics of novel psychiatric devices, including the e-meter and telepsychiatric devices. I have also published work on the legal frameworks regulating stem cell interventions in Australia and internationally.
