Speakers:

Dr Kate Lyle is a Senior Research Fellow in the Clinical Ethics, Law and Society research group at the Universities of Oxford and Southampton. Kate is a sociologist with research interests in exploring the relations between people, innovations, and the socio-technical networks in which they exist, and how this knowledge can be applied to improve outcomes and experiences. Kate’s work draws largely on theories and perspectives within the field Science and Technology Studies, and she is particularly interested in applying this perspective to improve experiences of healthcare delivery for both patients and healthcare professionals. She is currently working on the Ethical Preparedness in Genomic Medicine (EPPiGen) study, which explores the ethical and social challenges that arise for those living and working with genetic and genomic results.
