My research and teaching engages a range of challenges in domestic and global health ethics. This includes empirical and normative work in U.S. and international research ethics, and projects that address the implications of emerging global mobile and digital technologies as applied in the context of health research, public health programs, and disease surveillance. I am particularly interested in how values are expressed, represented, prioritized, preserved and influenced in the context of digital technologies.



As core faculty and associate director for global programs at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics, I work with colleagues at JHU and other institutions internationally to advance the development of multidisciplinary research, training and service partnerships in bioethics. I am committed in my work to collaboratively supporting the capacity of scholars from resource constrained countries and settings to lead bioethics research, teaching and practice on issues of local importance. I have been involved in establishing and operating NIH Fogarty-funded non-degree, master's, doctoral and post-doctoral programs in bioethics at Johns Hopkins and with partners in Uganda, Ethiopia, Zambia, Botswana and Malaysia. I also co-lead the Wellcome-funded Oxford University-Johns Hopkins University Global Infectious Disease Ethics (GLIDE) Collaborative which supports research and training between the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute and the Oxford Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities to address emerging issues involving ethics and infectious disease.
