Lynn Wein Bush, PhD MS MA, is a Bioethicist-Developmental Scientist and Educator with an interdisciplinary graduate background, earning degrees from Columbia University in Clinical Psychology, child & neuroscience subspecialty (PhD, MS, Internship and Fellowships); MS Bioethics with genomics, reproductive-pediatric ethics, public health focus; and MA Developmental Psychology, infancy and neurodevelopment centric. This foundation, combined with Postgraduate courses in genomics, fetology, neuroscience and decades of experience in NICUs, PICUs, Pediatric specialty units, and Maternal-Fetal Medicine clinics informs her writings, research, and teaching on the ethical, psychosocial, scientific, and policy challenges of genomic testing and therapies along with other innovative technologies involving embryos, fetuses, newborns, infants, children, and women. Her focus is on the complexities, uncertainties, and contextual nuances posed during the prenatal-neonatal period, especially with rare disease, the "diagnostic odyssey continuum", inborn errors of metabolism, neurodevelopment disorders, and the development of novel therapeutics. Dr. Bush is currently on faculty division of Genetics and Genomics, department of Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital as Scientist and Bioethicist, member of the BCH Maternal-Fetal Care Center Fetal Therapy Board, educational lead for the BCH Academy, affiliate member of the RSZ Translational Neuroscience Center, faculty HMS Genetic Training Program, member of the HMS Center for Bioethics, and member of The Academy at Harvard Medical School. She is Collaborator to the YuLab on bioethical aspects of ASO individualized genomic medicine and Co-PI on an NIH ELSI R01 grant, "providing ethical guidance for the development of individualized medicine as rare as n-of-1." She is a frequent international presenter and has senior policy roles and leadership positions on national-international committees, workgroups, societies, and journals, with recent book chapters, and scholarship co-authored in Pediatrics, Nature, Medical Education, and International J Neonatal Screening, including serving as Special Issue guest-editor. Previously, Dr. Bush was a long-time faculty member at Columbia University Medical Center in Pediatric Clinical Genetics, faculty program in Women and Children's Bioethics, and a member of the Clinical Ethics Committee at Children's Hospital New York.
