Prof Lisa Dive

My research and teaching both focus on the ethical aspects of genetics and genomics. I have particular research interests in how analysis of fundamental normative concepts can help in responding to the many ethical challenges that arise in health care, especially in the areas of genetics and genomics, reproductive health and the intersection of public health and clinical care. I have research qualifications in analytic philosophy and bioethics, and professional experience in health policy.

At UTS I teach in the Master of Genetic Counselling program in the Graduate School of Health. Prior to joining UTS I worked on the bioethics research stream of Mackenzie’s Mission, a large scale pilot of reproductive genetic carrier screening across Australia. I have previously taught bioethics at postgraduate level and undergraduate philosophy.
