Research Summary

My scholarly work is focused on bioethics, particularly on issues salient to cardiology.

Extensive Research Description

As my scholarly expertise is within the domain of bioethics, most of my work has been philosophically focused rather than traditional scientific research. My particular areas of interest within bioethics include end-of-life considerations, futility and conscientious objection, vaccine and public health ethics, and nutrition ethics.
