Welcome to my website!

Here are some words about myself:

I hold a PhD in philosophy from the Heinich Heine University of Düsseldorf, and I do research mainly on ethics, bioethics, and aesthetics.

I teach bioethics in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Metropolitan College of Athens, Greece.

I also teach and am member of the Academic Council of the Master in Bioethics in the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the National University of Córdoba, Argentina.

Since many years I organize workshops on literature and philosophy in the Instituto Cervantes of Athens.

Here you can see my CV, beginning with my publications and followed by the courses I’ve taught so far.

1. Publications

I’m working on a book on the concept of person in the current bioethical debate.
