The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, which regulates fertility treatment in the UK, has just appointed a new chair.
The authority has today announced that Professor Lisa Jardine, probably best known to most of us as a presenter on BBC Radio Four, is to take over from Walter Merricks, who has been standing in as chair. Lisa Jardine is a Professor at London University, and is also the author of a number of books, both histories and biographies.
This is an interesting time for the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, as the laws governing all aspects of its work pass through Parliament, and it will be interesting to how Professor Jardine will shape such an influential role.
