Dr Annelien Bredenoord is assistant professor at the Department of Medical Ethics, University Medical Centre Utrecht.
The overriding theme in Annelien’s (born in 1979) career is the link between biomedical science, ethics and politics. She is interested in questions concerning new, often controversial technologies, for example stem cell research, genetics and biobanks, and consistently seeks collaboration with other disciplines in her work. She has been a member of the Young Health Council of the Netherlands, advises on healthcare policy, and sits on various ethical committees. She was recently invited to participate in a seminar in Qatar examining Islamic principles of bioethics.
