Biography

I am a PhD student in the Department of Philosophy, with research interests in philosophy of medicine and biology. I graduated as a medical technologist from the Universidad Austral de Chile and received my MA in Philosophy from the Universidad de Chile. My PhD thesis aims to outline a political philosophy of medicine for the One Health movement. As a clear example of the interrelationship between health sciences, politics, and society, this movement provides an excellent case study for this purpose.
