Lynn W. Bush, PhD, MS, MA

Bioethics, developmental science.

Dr. Bush received, from Columbia University, her PhD in Clinical Psychology, child and neuro subspecialty; MS Bioethics; and MA in Developmental Psychology. Throughout, she obtained an extensive background in qualitative-mixed methodologies and longitudinal case-based approaches. Dr. Bush pursued further study in genomics, neuroscience, and fetology. She completed her clinical internship at Einstein-Montefiore, dual clinical-research fellowships at Mt. Sinai, and has decades of experience in NICUs, pediatric specialty units, maternal-fetal medicine centers, and on pediatric ethics committees. Dr. Bush’s research addresses the complexities and uncertainties during the prenatal-neonatal-pediatric periods, with particular focus on bioethical, psychosocial, and policy aspects of translational genomic technologies and rare orphan diseases. Her research interests include neurodevelopmental disorders, inborn errors of metabolism, rare neurogenetic diseases, innovative fetal-pediatric therapies, and prenatal-neonatal screening/diagnosis. She is a collaborator to the Timothy Yu lab on ethical challenges with the development of individualized genomic medicines as rare as n-of-1.

Dr. Bush is a bioethicist, developmental scientist, and educator. She is a Scientist in the division of Genetics and Genomics, member of the MFCC Fetal Therapy Board, faculty of the HMS Genetics Training Program, affiliate faculty RSZ Translational Neuroscience Center, member of the Academy at HMS and at BCH, and is a member of the faculty Center for Bioethics at Harvard Medical School.
