Camillia Musano

Camillia Musano is a Master of Arts graduate from the Theological Studies program at Concordia University. Her master’s thesis was supervised by Dr. Christine Jamieson. Her thesis explores the ethical questions and theological reflection of genetic modifications and the gene-editing technology, CRISPR-Cas9.

Having a Bachelor's of Science in Biochemistry, Camillia was interested in the profound questions and meaning behind genetic modifications. Therefore, she examined the ethical questions of consent, autonomy, moral agency, actions and society. In addition, she applied a theological perspective to reflect on how genetic modifications affected the foundations of Christianity in healthcare, playing God, our future society and what it means to be human. This thesis explored the opposing sides of genetic modification to come to an understanding that this technology will have positive and negative aspects.

Camillia currently works as a Site Selection Specialist at Innovaderm Research Inc., a clinical research organization that specializes in dermatology clinical trials. In her role, she identifies and recommends potential medical doctors that meet the necessary qualifications for clinical trials.
