Erika Versalovic, PhD

Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Massachusetts General Hospital
Boston, Massachusetts

Focusing on qualitative research methods in neuroethics research, Dr. Versalovic completed her doctorate in philosophy at the University of Washington. Her dissertation examined storytelling practices in bioethics, exploring how medical research norms shape patient narratives and how they are understood.

Dr. Versalovic is particularly interested in using interview-based research methods to amplify patient voices in medical research. In the lab, she serves as project lead for an initiative to improve post-trial access and support for DBS trial participants. Her roles include developing research instruments, collecting and analyzing qualitative data, and facilitating discussion among stakeholder groups. Ultimately, the project works to advocate for improved policies to ensure trial participants have continued access to the devices after the trials end.

Most broadly, her research focuses on issues of just access and centering patient needs in the ways therapeutic devices are developed.
