Louise Bezuidenhout completed her PhD in cardio-thoracic surgery at the University of Cape Town, South Africa and has worked as a postdoctoral scientist in the department of cardiovascular sciences at the University of Edinburgh, UK.
In 2008 she was the recipient of an EU scholarship for the Erasmus Mundus Masters of Bioethics programme run by the Catholic University of Leuven, Radboud University Nijmegen and the University of Padova. These dual interests in science and bioethics led to her enrol for a PhD in sociology at the University of Exeter under Prof Brian Rappert and Dr Dana Wilson-Kovacs
