I am particularly interested in various areas of applied ethics such as medical, clinical and research ethics, public-health ethics, ethics of childhood and childhood obesity, biotechnology ethics and animal and environmental ethics.
I have a PhD in ethics, and have worked on several research projects as an ethics advisor. I have taught postgraduate and undergraduate courses in various topics of applied ethics including medical ethics, clinical and research ethics, policy issues of biotechnology and biobanking, environmental ethics, and introduction to ethics and philosophy. I am a Research Fellow in Clinical Ethics at Warwick Medical School, working on evaluation of clinical-ethics support, providing academic input into the UK Clinical Ethics Network support programme, as well as teaching ethics to medical students and healtcare professionals.
