Pete Mills is Assistant Director at the UK’s Nuffield Council on Bioethics, an independent body that examines and reports on ethical issues in biology and medicine. He has previously held positions at the Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority (HFEA) and the UK Department of Health and, at various times, has been head of the Human Genetics Commission Secretariat, a UK representative on the Council of Europe Bioethics Committee (DH-BIO) and a delegate to the UNESCO Intergovernmental Bioethics Committee. He read PPE at Trinity College, Oxford, and obtained a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Warwick. Since then his interests have ranged across the fields of assisted conception, human genomics, biotechnology and data science, but have always been situated at the intersection of science, ethics and public policy. Recently he has directed the Nuffield Council’s work programme on genome editing, leading to the publication of the reports Genome editing: an ethical review (2016) and Genome editing and Human Reproduction: social and ethical issues (2018).
