About Dr. L.L.E. (Ineke) Bolt
Introduction
I am an assistant professor at the Department of Medical Ethics, Philosophy and Medical History at Erasmus MC. Currently, I am involved in several research projects, as a researcher and a co-applicant: on the ethics of the development and implementation of a prognostic model for neurodegenerative genetic diseases (ww.cureq.nl), the ethics of e-health during and after the corona pandemic, and informed decision-making in the context of cancer screening. Next to research, I am coordinating and teaching ethics to medical students and medical specialists as well as to students of Clinical Technology at Delft University of Technology.
My background is in theology with a specialization in health care ethics and health care law (Free University in Amsterdam). I started my career as a PhD student in the ethics of genetic testing and counseling for late onset genetic diseases (Free University, Amsterdam). After my PhD research, I worked as a postdoc on several (European and national) projects: in the field of reproductive technology, end of life issues and enhancement technology.
