DR. JOHN APPLEBY
John is a Lecturer in Medical Ethics at Lancaster Medical School, Lancaster University. Before joining Lancaster, John completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge and was a post-doc at King’s College London.John works on theoretical and applied issues in moral and political philosophy.

He is currently conducting research on a number of topics in the field of reproduction and reproductive donation, including: gamete and embryo donation; mitochondrial replacement techniques / mitochondrial donation (aka 'three person IVF'); in-vitro derived gametes; ectogenesis and gene editing technologies (e.g. CRISPR). His work has also been featured in the media, such as on the BBC, Times Radio, the Financial Times, and others.
