Asman Lab: Bioethics, Policy and Mental Health

Welcome !

Our Lab operates in the Department of Nursing, the School of Health Professions at the Tel Aviv University Faculty of Medicine. Our research explores medicine and healthcare from ethical, legal, and social perspectives. We are particularly interested in Mental Health Ethics, Neuroethics and law, Disability Rights, psycho-social aspects of health and Responsible Artificial Intelligence in Medicine.

Our approach is multifaceted: we focus on studying issues with immediate practical relevance, with an ambition to inform policy. This is done by a combination of normative approaches (conceptual writing), empirical approaches (quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods writing).  Our work is done in collaboration with experts in various fields and domains, including nursing, medicine, psychology, engineering, law, media, and philosophy.
