Dr Anneke Lucassen

Summary
I am an academic clinican with expertise in the ethical, legal and policy implications of developments in genetic and genomic medicine. My roles can be broadly divided as follows:

Clinical: I have higher medical training in general medicine and 20 years experience of clinical genetics. I am a UK leader in genetic medicine and am consulted to analyse or apply ethico-legal interpretations of genetics both in individual clinical cases nationally and for policy/ guideline development. I have a busy clinical workload that focuses on cancer and cardiac genetics.
Managerial: Chair UHS clinical ethics committee. I was invited by the CMO (England and Wales) onto working party to deliver 100,000 genome analyses to the NHS. I was also invited by secretary of state to review scientific methods to avoid mitochondrial disease transmission. SAB member several national research projects; Nuffield Council of Bioethics Council member. NICE guideline development group member
I have developed and written two sets of national guidance, both published in the last 3 years.
Research: With a firm footing in molecular laboratory research, I have developed an internationally recognised programme of applied multidisciplinary research that adopts a with colleagues across the University of Southampton and the NHS to analyse the ethical, legal and policy implications of developments in genetic/ genomic medicine. I have obtained 3 large research grants to support this research in the past 3 years.
Education: I am responsible for, coordinate and examine law and ethics teaching to medical undergraduates at the University of Southampton; I currently supervise 4 PhD students, including a Rhodes scholar; 2 post-docs and 3 BMedSc medical students.

I lead the clinical ethics and law group (CELS) at Southampton (www.soton.ac.uk/cels). Summaries of some of the research, teaching and national activities and outputs can be found here.
