Biography
My qualifications are ethics, law, and biology. My research interests centre on medical ethics and global health ethics, with a focus is on justice and inequities, and the exercise of power. Specific current research interests include ethical issues associated with sharing public health and research data, controlled human infection (challenge) studies, and public health and research responses to infectious disease outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics.
This role is currently 0.5 FTE. I am also 0.5FTE Associate Professor of Bioethics, at the Ethox Centre, Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford. In this role I am the Programme Director for Epidemic Ethics, a global community of bioethicists and stakeholders involved in public health and research responses to public health emergencies.
I welcome supervision inquiries.
