Dr. Ori Lev is a senior lecturer and the head of the Department of Public Policy and Administration, Sapir Academic College.
Ori earned his doctorate in political theory from the London School of Economics (LSE) in 2006. From 2007-2010 he was a post-doctoral fellow in Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health, USA. After completing his fellowship Ori became a science policy analyst in the Office of the Director at NIH. In that capacity, Ori worked on the regulation of dual use research, the protection of human subjects in clinical studies and stem cell research.
Ori’s research interests are at the intersection of political theory, public policy and bioethics. His work focuses on biomedical enhancements and their ethical permissibility, the scope of reproductive rights, the dual use research challenge and on the question of whether the state should fund the arts.
Ori’s work has been published in journals such as Bioethics, Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal, Public health Ethics and the American Journal for Bioethics.
