Katie Hammond’s work focuses on the regulation of new medical technologies and the dilemmas that surface in their wake. In particular, her research has focused on assisted reproductive technologies and techniques (e.g. egg, sperm and embryo donation, egg freezing, surrogacy, and uterus transplants), genetic testing technologies and their privacy implications, and in vitro diagnostics. She also works on health equity, health and the distribution of powers, government accountability, and pandemics. She has held numerous fellowships in the area of health including at Harvard Law School’s Petrie-Flom Centre for Health Law and Policy, the Brocher Foundation, the Embryo Project at Arizona State University, and was involved with organizing the consultation for the WHO’s first ever guidelines and glossary on infertility.
