Dr. Leandro Loriga holds a BA in Medical Anthropology from the University of Bologna, an MSc in Psychological and Psychiatric Anthropology from Brunel University London, and a PhD in Bioethics from Masaryk University. His work is driven by a deep interest in bodily autonomy, with a focus on how individuals navigate societal standards, particularly in areas such as surgical ethics and end-of-life decision-making.
Dr. Loriga’s research explores the ways in which society influences and is influenced by psychological and psychiatric categories, the ethical challenges posed by the integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare, and the impact of spirituality and religious experiences on life choices.
Beyond academia, Dr. Loriga is dedicated to applying these insights in real-world contexts. He engages with communities, policymakers, and healthcare professionals to translate complex ethical issues into actionable strategies that promote human dignity and autonomy. Through public speaking, workshops, and writing, he aims to bridge the gap between scholarly research and everyday life, contributing meaningfully to both academic discourse and societal progress.
