Short bio

Beatrix Göcking is a bioethicist and qualitative researcher whose work focuses on ethical challenges in healthcare and gender-sensitive approaches in medicine. She obtained a PhD in Biomedical Ethics and a Maters’s degree in Religious Studies with a minor in Gender Studies from the University of Zurich. She is also a certified intensive care nurse with more than 25 years of clinical experience. The interdisciplinary background enables her to conduct research that bridges academic inquiry and clinical practice.
