He holds a Ph.D. in the history of science and a Masters degree in medical anthropology from Harvard University. Dr. King conducts research in three areas: Public health ethics (ethics of biosecurity, disaster response, and public health preparedness; ethical issues in responses to emerging diseases and the development of antimicrobial resistant pathogens); health inequalities, especially the role of ethical judgments in the statistical measurement and assessment of causality in research on health inequalities; and the visual depiction of health and risk, including new modes of visualizing health inequalities and population health risks, and how these impact individuals’ and policymakers’ judgment of the severity of those inequalities and risks.
