2019 marks the 5th year of the Bioethics & Society programme at King’s College London.
To celebrate the 5 year of the programme we are running a series of events, including a “Bioethics & Society alumni series” where we feature the career trajectories of our amazing alumni. Our students come from all over the world and bring to King’s a variety of educational and professional backgrounds. They really make the programme and have been shaping it over the past few years.

The amazing first cohort of the Bioethics & Society programme at King’s College London, 2014/15
I had to privilege to work on this unique programme (the only bioethics programme in the UK based in a faculty of social sciences and public policy, and combining training in social sciences qualitative and quantitative methods and a critical philosophical approach to ethics) from the very beginning, with Ilina Singh and Annette Rid. Both colleagues have since left King’s (Ilina Singh is Professor of Neuroscience and Society at the University of Oxford, while Annette Rid is Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Bioethics, National Institutes of Health, and Professor of Philosophy Kennedy Institute of Ethics, Georgetown University) and I am now working with another wonderful colleague, Dr Gry Wester.
It has been a privilege to direct the programme over the past few years and to teach amazing people and I look forward to continuing doing so and helping the programme grow to the next level over the next 5!
