RESEARCH
Since 1999 I publish in scientific journals.
​
I try to uphold a general view on science and society. Of course, one cannot do everything. As a researcher I am the supervisor of the research group Philosophy of medicine and ethics (PME) at Ghent University.
I supervised numerous projects on diverse topics in my area of expertise: autonomy in healthcare, ethics in genetics, medicalisation and the digitalization of healthcare.
Besides this, I am an active member of several European Networks in philosophy of medicine:
European Society for Philosophy of Medicine and Health Care (board member)
In Sickness and Health
The Oxford Phemonology Network
Coordinator of a research group on politics and religion (the Heyendaal Instituut, Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen)
Research Associate of the Somatechnics Research Centre (MacQuarie University, Australia)
Co-chairman of a Belgian organisation (de Maakbare Mens) which reflects ethically and philosophically upon biomedical evolutions. (www.demaakbaremens.org)
