Emilie Clemmens, Ph.D.
Research Fellow
A scientist with backgrounds in bioengineering and human physiology, Emilie Clemmens has held a long-standing interest in bioethics and science policy. During her scientific training, she opted to take courses in health law and published an article on cloning embryos for research in the Indiana Health Law Review. After receiving her Ph.D. in bioengineering from the University of Washington in 2003, Emilie co-founded the Forum on Science, Ethics, & Policy at the UW.
As a 2004 Christine Mirzayan Science & Technology Policy Fellow at The National Academies in Washington, D.C., she enjoyed discovering how science policy is crafted at the federal level and how our nation’s scientific experts contribute to the process. Emilie brings her perspectives as a woman, mother, scientist, and ethicist to the critically important initiatives at the Women’s Bioethics Project. A native of Kentucky and devoted Kentucky Wildcats fan, Emilie now lives in Redmond with her husband John and daughter Audrey.
