The Nuffield Council, in partnership with UKRI Sciencewise is organising a large-scale public dialogue to explore opinions and values surrounding regulatory options for human embryo research, with a particular focus on reviewing the 14-day rule. For an explainer on these issues, please see our blog: Is it time to revisit the 14-day rule?

The independent Oversight Group will ensure a robust and accountable process by providing challenge, guidance and advice on the scope, design and delivery of the public dialogue. The group will ensure diverse perspectives are represented and will review the structure and content of the sessions to guarantee that the information presented is comprehensive, balanced, and accessible.

Laura’s expertise will be invaluable in this role. Congratulations to Laura on securing this important position.
