With a background in science and legal practice, Associate Professor Karinne Ludlow’s research primarily focuses on regulation of, and legal challenges to, innovative technologies, particularly biotechnology. That research addresses biotechnology across all species and in applications including health, agriculture and food. Karinne Ludlow has particular expertise in the regulation of reproductive technologies and her most recent book is on international responses to mitochondrial donation published by Oxford University Press. Current projects include the MitoHOPE project intended to clinically trial mitochondrial donation in Australia, and funded through a $15 million Medical Research Future Fund grant.
