The Regulation and Governance of UK Biobank
Final year PhD student at University of Sheffield, UK, supervised by Prof. Aurora Plomer and Dr. Richard Kirkham. Thesis focuses on the governance framework of UK Biobank; a large-scale population Biobank with a ‘public good’ mission built upon a corporate architecture. The thesis analyses and highlights the advantages and potential limitations arising from the use of a model widely utilised in the corporate sphere, to govern a social endeavour rife with ethical sensitivities.
