- Research Interests
- I am interested in ethical issues within US health care, with a focus on the high cost of generic drugs, the underlying drivers, and its impact on affordability and access to care. I study factors that contribute to the high cost of anti-infective medicines, its implications for vulnerable populations, and policies that improve access to essential medicines.
