I am a philosopher of medicine whose primary focus is on the relationship between moral theories and concepts and various biomedical practices. My current work focuses on biomedical research including animal research, phase I healthy volunteer research, and genomic advances. In addition, I work on topics in health care including distributive justice and concepts of autonomy. As well as using philosophical methods, I also work with empirical data.
