Dr. Julie Kent (born 1957)^[1] is a Professor of Sociology at the University of the West of England.^[2] In late 2012, along with Dr. Maria Fannin from the University of Bristol, Kent won a grant from the Wellcome Trust to fund a research project into placental tissue.^[3]

Kent has received more than £224,000 from the Economic and Social Research Council. One grant was worth more than £79,000 for research into tissue and cell technologies,^[4] and another was worth more than £145,000 for fetal stem cell research.^[5]

Kent obtained her Bachelors of Science in Sociology degree from the University of Bath in 1990. She then later graduated from the University of Bristol with a PhD in sociology in 1995, and in 2007 became a professor of Sociology of Health Technology. Kent was a member of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MRHA) Committee on Safety Devices and is now Chair of the University Research Ethics Committee at the University of the West of England.^[6] On Kent's page on the UWE Bristol website are a listing of her works and contributions.

At the 2006 Stem Cell Ethics Workshop in London, Kent gave a lecture on ethics and regulations in the world of the fetus alongside Professor Naomi Pfeffer.^[7]
