Research Abstract

The major focus of my current work is the ethics of research involving human subjects. I conduct observational and intervention studies of informed consent to clinical trials. I also study how methodological and ethical considerations intersect in clinical trial design. I am interested in the implications of human subjects regulations for clinical research and drug development, and in how clinicians and investigators navigate their complex roles. Finally, I have a research interest in the doctor-patient relationship, and in how theoretical ethical models of health care relate to the actual practice of medicine.
