Ainsley Newson FRSN

Professor of Bioethics at the University of Sydney
-
Ainsley Newson is Professor of Bioethics at the University of Sydney, Australia. Over her 25-year career in bioethics, she has developed a body of work that critically considers how reproductive and genomic technologies should be used well in research, clinical and population health settings. Ainsley has had an interest in mitochondrial donation since similar techniques emerged in the early 2000's. She has published on this technique from bioethical and empirical perspectives, the latter using community jury methods. Ainsley has also participated in public debate on mitochondrial donation in Australia, the United Kingdom and Singapore. In 2018, she appeared in front of an Australian Senate Inquiry on mitochondrial donation. She was also a member of the Mitochondrial Donation Expert Working Committee for the Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council (2018-2020). Ainsley has two children, one conceived following ovulation induction.
