I am an Associate Professor at the Geneva School of Health Science and a member of the editorial board of Bioetica Forum, part of the Swiss Society for Biomedical Ethics. I also coordinate the Disability Data Initiative Hub for Europe and Central Asia. In 2015, I earned a PhD in Philosophy of Medicine from the University of Sydney, focusing on Article 25, "Health," of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). I also hold a Master’s in Applied Social Research from Trinity College Dublin.
After completing my PhD, I worked at the International Labour Organization, where I studied intersectionality in relation to the CRPD, and later at the Disability Unit of the OHCHR, focusing on Article 11 of the CRPD. I then joined the Department of Radiology and Medical Informatics at the Faculty of Medicine in Geneva. In 2018, as a research fellow at the Bioethics Laboratory (IEH2) within the same faculty, I investigated ethical issues related to healthcare access and the use of technology in healthcare.
In 2021, I was awarded the Ambizione grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation to lead a study aimed at improving healthcare access for people with disabilities through information and communication technologies. I have also been a visiting fellow at Harvard Law School, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Universidad del Rosario in Colombia.
