Martin Hume Johnson (born 1944) is emeritus professor of Reproductive Sciences in the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience (PDN) at the University of Cambridge.[1]

Education

Johnson was educated at Cheltenham Grammar School for Boys and Christ's College, Cambridge, where he was awarded Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in 1969 for immunochemical analysis of factors affecting fertility.[2]

Research

Currently, Johnson's research investigates the history of the reproductive and developmental sciences and their historical relationship to the development of human In vitro fertilisation and other clinical technologies, and to their regulation legally and ethically.[3] Johnson collaborates with Kay Elder, at the Bourn Hall Clinic, Sarah Franklin[4] and Nick Hopwood[5] in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge.

Johnson has co-authored over 300 papers on reproductive and developmental science, history, ethics, law and medical education.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Johnson is the co-editor of Essential Reproduction (now in its eighth edition),[12] Sexuality Repositioned: diversity and the law,[13] Death Rites and Rights[14] and Birth Rites and Rights.[15]

Johnson's research has been funded by the Wellcome Trust.[3]
