Education and professional work

[edit]

Woopen received the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1993 from the University of Bonn. After having worked as a doctor in gynecology and obstetrics, Woopen changed her professional activities and focused on medical ethics. From 1990–1995 she studied philosophy in Bonn and Hagen. In 2005, she received Habilitation and venia legendi for Ethics and Theory of Medicine, from the Faculty of Medicine at University of Cologne.

Her main research interests pertain to ethical questions in reproductive and prenatal medicine, neuroethics, health literacy and quality of life as well as the future of health care in times of digitalization.[9] She mainly engages in inter- and transdisciplinary research projects, partly in international consortia.

Woopen is member in numerous advisory bodies.[10] Among others, she was member of the National Ethics Council (known since 2008 as the German Ethics Council) from 2001 to 2016. She was elected Deputy Chair of the council from 2008–2012 and Chair from 2012–2016. Since 2010, she is member of the International Bioethics Committee of UNESCO.[11]

In April 2020, Woopen was appointed by Minister-President Armin Laschet of North Rhine-Westphalia to a 12-member expert group to advise on economic and social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany.[12] In 2023, she was appointed to a government commission on reproductive self-determination and health.[13]
