An active participant in policy debates, she has advised the National Institutes of Health as well as other federal and international bodies on an array of topics ranging from children's health to the ethical conduct of research involving human subjects. Professor Clayton has worked on a number of projects for the National Academy of Medicine, of which she is a member of the Executive Committee of its National Advisory Council, chair of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Board on Population Health and Public Health Practice, and was chair of its committee to define myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.

Major themes of his current work include sex determination, development of the nervous system and pituitary, and the biology of stem cells within the early embryo. He is also very active in both public engagement and policy work, notably around stem cells, genetics, human embryo and animal research, and in ways science is regulated and disseminated.

He has extensive experience with the major engineered nuclease platforms including zinc finger nucleases, transcription activator-like effector nucleases, and CRISPR/Cas9 nucleases. He has used genome-editing strategies in a variety of different stem cells including hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, neural stem cells, spermatogonial stem cells, human embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent cells.
