Current research

I am interested in the organization and regulation of the healthcare system, in particular with respect to introduction of new medical technologies. My area of expertise is ethics as a form of regulation in relation to human bodily materials and health data. I have worked with, e.g., research biobanking, stem cells, property issues, forensic biobanking, public-private partnerships and public perceptions of genetics. I primarily use qualitative methods.

Among my current projects you find an ERC-funded project on data intensification in healthcare: Policy, Practice and Patient Experience in the Age of Intensified Data Sourcing (POLICYAID). 

Teaching

I am course manager on Organisation analysis on the MA in the public health sciences programme and a course introducing IT and Health students to the healthcare system and organisation analysis. I also teach topics related to qualitative methods, public health ethics, STS etc. I supervise essays on issues relating to medical STS, health politics, organisation, regulation, and public health ethics.
