Biography
Dr. Jojanneke Drogt is a medical ethicist and postdoctoral researcher at the Julius Center of the University Medical Center Utrecht.
Her research lies at the intersection of AI ethics, embedded (bio)ethics, and philosophy of science. Within various medical fields like pathology, radiology, cardiology and neonatology, she examines current claims and concepts—including expertise, human in the loop, and human-AI collaboration—in the context of medical AI. She aims to determine their practical grounding to transition from abstract ideas about AI to actionable ethical guidance.
In addition to her academic research, she teaches and coordinates courses on the philosophy of science, medical ethics, and health humanities. She is the ethics secretary of the Committee of Medical Ethics (CME) of UMC Utrecht, which focuses on providing concrete guidance for ethical questions arising in medical practice. Moreover, amongst others, she coordinates AI ethics seminars at UMC Utrecht and events of the national study group on Ethics of Biomedical Technology of the Dutch Society for Philosophy.
